Here are the words of songs from 1962. We start with Forever Young to start you thinking. Then one that lasted well into 1962---remember Ya Ya? Try singing Ya Ya and see if you don't connect with 1962. If Who Put The Bomp does not bring a smile to your face----you need a funeral.
Forever Young
by
Bob Dylan
May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

The Wanderer
Oh Well I'm the type of guy who will never settle down
Where pretty girls are will you know that I'm around
I kiss'em and I love'em 'cause to me they're all the same
I hug'em and I squeeze'em they don't even know my name
They call me the wanderer yeah the wanderer
I roam around around around around
Oh Well there's Flo on my left arm and there's Marry on my right
And Jenny's the girl well that I'll be with tonight
And when she asks me which one I love the best
I'll tear open my shirt and show her Rosie on my chest
'Cause I'm the wanderer yeah the wanderer
I roam around around around around
Oh, well I roam from town to town
I go through life without a care
And I'm as happy as a clown
with my two fists of iron but I'm going no where
Oh yeah, I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place I roam from town to town
And when I find myself fallin' for some girl
I hop right into that car of mine I drive around the world
Yah I'm the wanderer yeah the wanderer
I roam around around around around
Oh yeah, I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place I roam from town to town
And when I find myself fallin' for some girl
I hop right into that car of mine I drive around the world
'Cause I'm the wanderer yeah the wanderer
I roam around around around around
'Cause I'm the wanderer yeah the wanderer
I roam around around around around

I'd like to shake his hand
He made my baby Fall in love with me (yeah!!)
When my baby heard
"Bomp bah bah bomp "
"Bah bomp bah bomp bah bomp bomp"
Every word went right into her heart
And when she heard them singin'
"Rama lama lama lama"
"Rama ding dong"
She said we'd never have to part
So.......

Boogity boogity boogity
Boogity boogity boogity shoo
Sets my baby's heart all aglow
And everytime we dance to

Who put the bomp
In the bomp bah bomp bah bomp?
Who put the ram
In the rama lama ding dong?
