Living in the 40's

[Verse] Boppin to the beat of the big band sound Life keeps swingin round and round Even with the world at war We're dancing more and more [Verse 2] Ration cards and victory gardens Brothers overseas fighting hardens But here at home we sway and jive Keeping the spirit of life alive [Chorus] Oh it's life in the 40's oh so fine With the jitterbug and the conga line Despite the war we find a way To make the best of every day [Verse 3] Radio waves bring our favorite tunes Benny Goodman under the moon Steppin out in zoot suits sharp Life’s a melody a swinging harp [Verse 4] Blackouts and air raid drills at night Hold each other oh so tight Yet laughter fills the hall and streets Where every challenge we defeat [Bridge] Life in the 40's bold and bright Moving to that lively light We'll get through this side by side With hope and joy as our guide
