The Groovy Times June, 1967
Groovin’ By The Young Rascals Groovin' on a Sunday afternoon, really couldn't get away too soon,I can't imagine anything that's better, the world is ours whenever we're together.There ain't a place I'd like to be instead of groovin' down a crowded avenue,Doin' anything we'd like to do. There's always lots of things that we could see,We could be anyone we'd like to be, and all those happy people we could meet justGroovin' on a Sunday afternoon, really couldn't get away too soon, no, no, no, no.We'll keep on spending sunny days this way, we're gonna talk and laugh our time away.I feel it comin' closer day by day. Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly,Groovin' on a Sunday afternoon, really couldn't get away too soon, no, no, no, no.Groovin' ah ha ah ha; groovin' ah ha ah ha.

Teen life Being a teenager this year, 1967 is great. We all hang out at the skating rink, bowling alley, or got to a drive in. Our parents don’t care if we stay out after dark. Almost everyone has a lava lamp in there room. Smoking cigarettes or doing tobacco isn't bad for you so, a lot of people do it. Girls wear mini skirts but the paper dresses are getting more popular. Guys wear bright colors. Every where you turn there is a hippy protesting about something. Racial issues are a big deal. Rock music is super popular. We all love to hang out and just have a good time!
