A psychedelic period piece

Mama Kay

In 69’ Mama moved us to the city
I was 12 just a little bitty kiddy
We went to school took the train on the Muni
We watched the horror of the war on the tele
In 69’ SI Hayakawa
De future candidate gunning for the Governor
A moratorium demonstrator was
Throwing rocks and spitting at the warrior

Chorus In 69’ My Mama Kay was doing all she could
To keep us clothed to keep us good
School days and working Nights
She set her sights on doing what was right

I loved a girl there her name was Jenny Strobel
She moved to Maui and lived with Peter Fonda
Then she hung herself chanting her mantra
In the foyer my brother from another
Got busted bawling his lover
In 69 we fought some bad actors
In China Town we were screaming little brawlers

Chorus In 69’ My Mama Kay was doing all she could
to keep us clothed to keep us good
School days and working Nights
She set her sights on doing what was right

Summer love was all about the Fillmore
I watched the bands and I smoked up on their reefer
I kissed a girl I thought was a keeper floating in her stare as the music soared deeper

Chorus In 69’ My Mama Kay was doing all she could
to keep us clothed to keep us good
School days and working Nights
She set her sights on doing what was right
