70’S MUSICAL DESERT

 

The forties

Brought us swing

The fifties

Brought us rock and roll

The sixties

Brought us the Beatles

The seventies

Brought us bugger all

ARTIE

 

When Artie Shaw

Was the King of Swing

His liquorice stick

Was made to sing

 

With a beat

To tap your toe too

Or melodies

To serenade you

 

Swing to get the kids

A jumping

Tunes to get the blood

A pumping

 

Artie Shaw and his

Tuneful clarinet

The King of Swing

Was as good as they get
