High Street shops are boarded up,

and the terrace it is fenced in.
D                       A
See-through shields are walled across
    Bm                G
the way that you came in.

But there's no need to get excited,
       Bm                      G
As the lorries bring the bacon in,
           D                  A
'Cause the housewives are all singin',
        Bm        G    A Bm
"Groovy times are here a-gain."

They discovered on Black Saturday,
         Bm                    G
That mobs don't march, they run (they run)
D                     A
So you you can excuse the nervous triggerman,
        Bm                  G
for this once jumping the gun.
D                        A
They were picking up the dead,
      Bm               G
Out of the broken glass,
D                     A
Yes, it's number one, hit radio says
          Bm            G
"Groovy times are here at last."

Groo-oo---vy times.
