1965

Nineteen Sixty-Five by David S Livens





It’s 1965,
Wish Jimmy Dean was still alive,
Wish Maggie May would go away,
Wish Miss Munroe would come and stay,

But it’s 1975,
And all the greats have been alive,
For more years than I care to know,
And, well, Maggie May, she still won’t go,

By the time it’s 1985,
I feel like I have gone and died,
And Maggie May is now my wife,
And Miss Munroe did lose her life,

By 1995,
I’m surprised I’m still alive,
And whoa, Maggie May is still my wife,
I wish Miss Munroe had her life,

And now it’s 2005,
And I’m surprised to love my wife,
She really is my only life,
And Miss Munroe was not to be,
I thank the stars for Miss Maggie.
