Nineteen Sixty Nine.Come on Carey get out your cane.
You're a mean old daddy but I like you { just the same }.
Come on down to the mermaid cafe
and I'll but you a bottle of wine.
We'll laugh and toast and smash empty glasses down.
Have a round for the Freaks and some soldiers and
maybe a few friends of mine.
Another round for the bright red devil
who nose is Pink.
Oh Carry get out your cane, and let Mr. Grant
buy another pair of Fosters lager.
Maybe tonight the sun won't go down and
nor say it's bedtime prayers.
Oh Carey it's sure hard to leave here
with so much happening.
But 1969 was not a vintage year and
what if it was.
Oh you a mean old daddy,father time.
" If you would not be the martyred slave of
Tme,drink without stopping! Drink wine,drink
poetry,drink virtue,drink as you wish. "
-- Charles {Pierre } Baudelaire
