Something for the old time - rough as it was

Back in those days we shipped music words dressed up to chicken rooster hair
Ears flat imported words telling us who to dare move split angel blond hair to dare not care
We feet 6 miles on a weekend night Soho by 8 cellar by 10 club by 4 we spent on on suits drinking coke
Sweat by night cool by day we watched the Blues guys away and old papers wrapped in a ball
We dribbled home kicking time
Little Richard, Zoot Money, Geno Washington and in the Surbiton Assembly rooms "Brownie McGhee & Sonny Terry"
as time didn't matter, distance was no fear
Rooster Hair had the blues
And Soho
Had the snare  
The Gunnell's the names
Flamingo
In Wardour
Music, music music
