2003nov17. I never paid much attention to the actual lyrics of Frank Sinatra’s “It Was A Very Good Year.” Perhaps you would like to see them.
When I was seventeen ...(lyrics appear courtesy BMI/ASCAP)
I had a lot of chicks!
When I was twenty-one ...
It was a very good year ...
I had me a lot of chicks!
When I was thirty-five ...
It was a very good year ...
Again, I’d like to emphasize the chickual portion of my life. It is a large component of this song.
Now the days grow short
I’m in the autumn of the year
Man, those dames were stacked like cordwood.
