Karaoké Back in '68 Mike Denver

Wasn't it great in sixty-eight to have been around back then

A night on the town cost half a crown and you still had money to spend

Girls wore mini-skirts and Corduroy shirts and boots up to their knees

With back-combed hair that looked so fair they were such a sight to see

Well Betsy and me about half-past three we'd hit for God knows where

With a load of a pound and the roof rolled down on a sixteen-hundred E

We hit Clonmel to hear Mick Dell or Dolan in Tramore

The barrow lands or the silver sands

Or a Marqee in Tullamoore

I wanna go back take me back to where I wanna be

Take me back again in time it's forever on my mind

Take me back to where it all began for me

Lovely girls we met well you may bet from every corner of the globe

From the hitchin' post to the last outpost some of no fixed abode

From the golden Veil to Emivale where a blonde had her eye on me

Down at Cappywhites where a farmer's wife wanted Betsy home for tea

Well those times are gone and it wasn't long 'till they were just a memory

The halls up there were full of wares like videos and TVs

I settled down and made a few pound but each sunday as the clock strikes eight

I think of the time when the world was mine back in nineteen sixty-eight

I wanna go back take me back to where I wanna be

Take me back again in time it's forever on my mind

Take me back to where it all began for me

I wanna go back take me back to where I wanna be

Take me back again in time it's forever on my mind

Take me back to where it all began for me

Take me back to where it all began for me
