The ‘Roaring Twenties’

I wish I was in the ‘Roaring twenties’
I’d fit into that style
The very thought of being a ‘Flapper’ new woman really makes me smile

I adore the fashion Oh so chic, fringed straight dresses, short bobbed hair
Imagine myself in that era
I’d be in my element if I was there

What a difference twenty years made
New machines and modern technologies
I’d have the latest gadgets
Washer, vacuum and all commodities

Everyday jobs around the household wouldn’t be such a chore
Life before the 1920’s made housewive’s necessities a bore

Freedom and importance for all the new age ladies
An introduction to birth control, so that meant having fewer babies

The latest dances back then 
Going to the local bop
The ‘Charleston’, ‘Cake walk’, ‘Black bottom’ and the ‘Flea hop’

Oh my I’d be out every-night, burning the candle at both ends
Dancing till I dropped 
and hanging out with my ‘Flapper’ friends…
