Back In '64

Back In '64 - The Rutles

Many years from now

When your grandchildren climb upon your knee

You may be quite astonished to see

How many channels they can change on TV

When some old film in black and white

Comes on and there you are upon the screen

Or is it someone just like someone you've been

Looking not a day over nineteen

Grand dad the little ones are asking you

Why do you look so sad so sad

So you tell them all about the fun you had

Back in '64 before you were born

People had no time for pouring scorn or scoring porn

On dreams of love and peace

No one was obese

Only tight trousers were worn

Back in '64 we were at it like knives

Back in '64 the time of our lives

Was in the present tense

Now does that make common sense

Any more than girls with hairdos called beehives

Zoom zoom zoom zoom

Back in '64 before you were born

Back in '64 before you were born

But as you've gone on and on

Your audience has flown

And as you find yourself all on your own

You may wistfully recall

How Benjamin Disraeli said that

Life is too short to be small

Or maybe like some old time song

Overall it's long so

So long it's all over
