Tank tops and drainpipe trousers:

Winklepickers and big, big hair

Velvet jackets - cost a packet!

Nobody dared be called a "square"

Flowery ties, mascara'ed eyes

Ribbons, bows, peroxide curls

Jazzy waistcoats for the fellas

Frilly dresses for the girls

Skirts with hula-hoops inside 'em

Shirts with shoestring ties outside 'em

Desert wellies on the beach in August

Blue suede shoes: a Sat'day evening "must"

I wear black leather, it makes me look like ‘Deano'

Go down the barber's, sit and read "The Beano"

Loads o' Brylcream, a quiff to rival Elvis'

"And something for the weekend, Sir?" he whispers

Her backcombed hair is lacquered into place

Her eyebrows plucked, cheeks rouged, a powder-perfect face

Peeps over the frothy, floppy, lacy collar

Of a blouse, which must have cost a pretty dollar

"I pull my blue jeans on ... " - and sit in a cold bath 'til they shrink

No hardship for a "Dedicated Follower of Fashion", I'd think

Her starched, white underskirt flounces and whispers

'neath the full circle skirt which whirls over her Cinderella slippers:

Wears platform soles instead of High-Heeled Sneakers

Drinks proper coffee, bought in a proper coffee shop

Not served in waxy Golden Arches plastic beakers

When her beau walks her home from the Saturday ‘hop'

Mini-skirt, or maxi? Flares or bell-bottoms?

Denim, lycra, calico or cotton?

Polyester polo shirts, static crackles in the air

Once the height of fashion, now best forgotten!

Boogie on down in your razor-sharp zoot suit

Twist and shout, hand jive, go bare-footin'

Crazy dances by the score were all the rage, we called for more

Remember "Do, Do, Do the Funky Gibbon?"

Padded shoulders, wide lapels, didn't we as blokes look swell?

All the girls had tiny waists - those corsets must've hurt like hell!

Psychedelic shirts inspired by flower power:

Colours guaranteed to run in the first summer shower

The worm has gripped his tail now firmly in his mouth:

West becomes East, and North is tending to South

The buzz-word now is "Retro" - everything that goes around, comes around

And around, and around, and around, and around, and around ................
