I have no idea who put this together, but it is wonderful!! Long ago and far away, in a land that time forgot, Before the days of Dylan , or the dawn of Camelot .

We learned to gut a muffler, we washed our hair at dawn, We spread our crinolines to dry in circles on the lawn . . We longed for love and romance, and waited for our Prince, And Eddie Fisher married Liz , and no one's seen him since . We danced to 'Little Darlin,' and sang to 'Stagger Lee' And cried for Buddy Holly in the Land That Made Me,Me . Only girls wore earrings
