Carnaby Street

LYRICS IN DESCRIPTION..
. A fun song about a trip to London`s famous Carnaby Street in 1967
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carnaby Street

In the mid 60's we were pop music, fashion mad teens.
Luckily we were able to go to the hub of the World's fashion industry, Carnaby Street.

-----------------------------------

I was thinking,
just the other day
when we were younger,
oh what times,
Listening to Sgt. Pepper
and dressing up to the nines

'Bout the time we
went to London
Twelve and 6 pence
on the train,
and where we got our cash from?
selling veggies, was the game

You bought hipster
pants and shoes
I got a green shirt
and cravat
The tie you picked was polka dots
Coloured mauve and black

--------------------------------------
Chorus

We were groovy, hip and cool
The coolest guys that you could meet
On that day four decades past
When we went down Carnaby Street
Yeah, we went down Carnaby Street
Lots of things, I guess we never done
but we went down Carnaby Street
Yeah, we went down Carnaby Street

---------------------------------------

You combed your hair
past your ears
I grabbed the brush,
and followed suit
Scarlet shades, for our eyes,
and both decked out in Chelsea boots

We marvelled at
all the great boutiques
and checked out the
latest gear
Window shopped in Ben Sherman's,
bought John Stephen's flares

Mary Quant's pad,
Sally Tuffin's
Irvine Sellar's
and Lord John's
Swinging London was our oyster
Are those days really gone?

This has to be one of your very best... I wish I could visit London sometime and see all of these things for real... In 1967 I was in Hollywood living on the Sunset Strip. (66-71) Carnaby Street reminds me of the strip... seeing all those clothes, and the clubs, and the young ladies sure brings back the memories... your video was amazing...

You really touched a nerve with this one... just fabulous..
