1975

What ever happened to my friends
Who took pleasure in burning everything?
We all wanted to be six mil buck men
Am I now the only one?

So terrified of the open sea
After watching the shark take care of Quint
You know, I'd rather watch Donnie and Marie
Was I not the only one?

And it was 1975
When the Red Sox were on fire
My brother got the Joe G.I.
Over the holidays

It just seems like only yesterday
When mom brought us to Beatlemania
We really couldn't believe it wasn't them
Am I now the only one?

And what ever happened to those nights?
The first season of Saturday Night Live
You know, when Gilda and John were still alive
Now we're left with the re-runs

And it was 1975
When the Red Sox were on fire
My brother got the Joe G.I.
Over the holidays
My first feelings of jealousy

And it was 1975
When the Red Sox were on fire
My brother got the Joe G.I.
Over the holidays
My first feelings of jealousy
They burned brighter than kerosene
