2061 - Back to Bacharach

Just watching the hits of Burt Bacharach
With Hal David's lyrics, a heady brew
With top-class performers all those years back
When they were young and in their prime. Don't you
Always look back on your earliest years through
Rose-tinted glasses? True, maybe, but I
Still think it was a great time for tunes. Who
Can resist Cilla and Cliff, Walk On By
And The Look Of Love, intertwined? Dusty
And Sandie, Engelbert in a white smock
Dionne, Aretha and the Stranglers too
The Carpenters, and now here is an eye-
Catching white, orange and brown outfit, Jack
Jones, with that sexist song! Old days we knew!
