John Corabi – 1969 Lyrics

1969 Lyrics by John Corabi

Yeah five for a nickel, ten for a dime
Judy and Brian, said their “goodbyes”
Hey there welcome Mr. President
Can you justify all the boys you sent?
Oh the hippies sang while the children danced
Mr. Lennon said “Give peace a chance”

Play us a song, there’s change in the air
A trip to the moon, who’s paying the fare?
The Summer of love, a moment in time
We ran through it all
Back in 1969

The fortunate sons, got away from ‘Nam,
“The rest get a ***,” said Uncle Sam
And they gathered round, down to Washington,
Five hundred thousand voices strong
All the hippies sang and the children danced
While the star spangled banner screamed from Jimi’s hands

Play us a song, there’s change in the air
A trip to the moon, who’s paying the fare?
The Summer of love, a moment in time
We ran through it all
Back in 1969

Play us a song, there’s change in the air
A trip to the moon, who’s paying the fare?
Summer of love, a moment in time
We ran through it all
Back in 1969

Play us a song, there’s change in the air
A trip to the moon, who’s paying the fare?
Summer of love, a moment in time
We ran through it all
Back in 1969
