The Roaring Twenties

The Roaring Twenties age
Set for the fast life
And happy Flappers
A delightful stage,
From the Cake Walk
To the Lindy,
From the Charleston
To the Shimmy,
To put it mild,
The country went wild,
And people were blessed
With unlimited success,
Enjoyed the period to excess,
With the universal cheer
That the good life was here,
But their joyful obsession
Was sadly terminated
By the Great Depression,
Which spelled the end
Of a time - heaven sent...
