the high street shops are boarded up   and the terrace, it is fenced in   see-through shields are walled across   the way that you came in   but there's no need to get excited      as the lorries bring the bacon in   'cos the housewives are all singing   groovy times are here again      they discovered one black Saturday   that mobs don't march they run   so you can excuse the nervous triggerman   just this once for jumping the gun   as they were picking up the dead   out of the broken glass   yes it's number one, the radio said   groovy times have come to pass!      groovy times groovy time groovy times      the intake is on the uptake   the acceleration's pretty grim   I can remember his first appearance   now look what's happened to him   so they put him in a dog suit   like from 1964   the king of early evening tv   groovy times forever more      groovy times
