A DECADE 1970-1979


     I am Farrah Fawcett,

Poster on the wall.

   I am a rotary phone,

When I made A call.

 

   I am, Boss,

It's the plane, the plane.

   I am Pablo Escobar,

And his Cocaine.

 

   I am Queen with,

Freddie Mercury Live.

   I am the Bee Gees,

Talking that jive.

 

   I am we have the technology,

To make him better.

   I am Charles Manson,

As Helter-Skelter.

 

   I am vinyl, 8-tracks,

Cassettes and CDs.

   I am peace signs,

Tie-dye, and Hippies.

 

   I am where is the beef?

Don't squeeze the Charmin.

   I am Cheech and Chong,

And George Carlin.

 

   I am SNL when it

Was Funny.

   I am Hugh Hefner and

A Playboy bunny.

 

   I am MTV when they,

Played Music videos.

   I am Baretta, Dirty Harry,

And Al Pacino.

 

   I am American Bandstand,

And the twist.

   I am a pay phone,

A Pager, and a Stick-shift.

 

   I am conjunction, junction,

What's your function?

   I am Patty Hearst,

And her Abduction.

 

   I am Star Wars,

Jaws and Rocky.

   I am Welcome Back Kotter,

And Sweat-hog cocky.

 

   I am gas station lines,

And roller skates.

   I am Women's Liberation,

And Watergate.

 

   I am stretch-Armstrong,

Lite-Bright, And Pong.

   I am Barry Manilow in,

I write the Songs.

 

   I am M.A.S.H. and,

A metal Lunch-box.

   I am clackers, tang,

And a Pet-rock.
