When Sgt. Pepper hit the air
The world sure paid attention -
Forty-nine long years ago,
A fact that’s worth a mention.

For Beatles fans it was a shock
To see how they’d evolved
And people looked for clues like they were
Puzzles to be solved.

And people looked for clues like they were
Puzzles to be solved.
We learned the songs and listened for
Some evidence of drugs
Reflected in the lyrics;
Those more hip replied with shrugs.

The music ushered in a time
When all the status quo
Was shaken to the core by those
Just going with the flow.

To me, this album represents
The 60’s crystallized;
Horizons were expanding,
Both exalted and despised.

But those of us who rode the wave,
Excited by the new,
Realized Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
Came right on cue.
