1955, the start of Scrabble
And a rail crash down in Sutton Coldfield
Communist China and Taiwan squabble
And Ray Kroc starts to expand McDonalds
The Warsaw Pact, spies come in from the cold
Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks protest
Having to give up bus seats when they're told
In Montgomery. Bus boycotts do the rest
Martin Luther King's tactics pass the test
Like desegregated schools, no trouble
Unless from the white right wing. Churchill, old
Man, resigns as PM, Eden is East
This year, the cause now without a rebel
And Ruth Ellis is barbarically killed
