High Street shops are boarded up,
and the terrace it is fenced in.
See-through shields are walled across
the way that you came in.
But there's no need to get excited,
As the lorries bring the bacon in,
'Cause the housewives are all singin',
"Groovy times are here a-gain."
[as above]
They discovered on Black Saturday,
That mobs don't march, they run (they run)
So you you can excuse the nervous triggerman,
for this once jumping the gun.
They were picking up the dead,
Out of the broken glass,
Yes, it's number one, hit radio says
"Groovy times are here at last."
Groo-oo---vy times,
Groo-oo---vy times,
Groo-oo---vy times.

[as verse 1]
The intake is on the uptake,
the acceleration's pretty grim.
I can remember his first appearance,
now look what's happened to him.
They put him in a dog suit,
like nineteen sixy four.
King of early evening ITV,
"Groovy times forever more."
[as chorus]
Groo-oo-vy times,
Groo-oo-vy times,
Groo-oo-vy times.
