What it might have been like to come of age in the 1960s. And if I mighta liked it...

lyrics

I Missed 1966

Did I get to the party too late?
Seems I missed it by 45 years
With destiny we had a date
Then everybody got paid instead

Why complain when you’re sipping on a pina colada?
Why worry when you’re driving a Mercedes-Benz?
Why notice when you’re neighbor’s house is on fire?
What really matters in the end?

I heard that there was acid in the punchbowl
And free food in the park from 4 to 6 each day
I heard that people realized giving help to one another
Matters even if the strangers aren’t friends

Why complain when you’re sipping on a pina colada?
Why worry when you’re driving a Mercedes-Benz?
Why notice when you’re neighbor’s house is on fire?
What really matters in the end?

Deliberate; relax
Love is a gift, not a tax
Count things that are great and sing each day

Why complain when you’re sipping on a pina colada?
Why worry when you’re driving a Mercedes-Benz?
Why notice when you’re neighbor’s house is on fire?
What really matters in the end?

Why complain when you’re sipping on a pina colada?
Why worry when you’re driving a Mercedes-Benz?
Why notice when you’re neighbor’s house is on fire?
What really matters in the end?
