Chain gang lyrics
I hear somethin' sayin’(Hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)(Hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)

All day long they're singin‘=(Hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)(Hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)

All day long they work so hardTill the sun is goin' downWorking on the highways and byways
And wearing, wearing a frownYou hear them moanin' their lives away
Then you hear somebody sa-ayThat's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
Can't ya hear them singin’Mm, I'm goin' home one of these days
I'm goin' home see my womanWhom I love so dear
But meanwhile I got to work right he-ere(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
All day long they're singin', mm
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
Give me water, I'm thirsty
My work is so hard

The leapord by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa
Plot:Most of the novel is set during the time of the Risorgimento, specifically
during the period when Giuseppe Garibaldi, the hero of Italian unification, swept
through Sicily with his forces, known as The Thousand. The plot focuses upon the
aristocratic Salina family, which is headed by the stoic Prince Fabrizio, a
consummate womanizer who foresees the upcoming downfall of his family and
the nobility in Italy as a whole but is unable to act upon this.
Auther bio:Tomasi was the last in a line of minor princes in Sicily, and he had long
contemplated writing a historical novel based on his great-grandfather, Don Giulio
Fabrizio Tomasi, another Prince of Lampedusa. After the Lampedusa palace was
bombed and pillaged by Allied forces in World War II, Tomasi sank into a lengthy
depression, and began to write Il Gattopardo as a way to combat it.

Being a teenager in 1960
Many used to be teens say that life was a lot simpler then there was less electronics and
every thing was done the old fashioned way there was less violence and drugs so kids could
say out later and for extra curricular activities they went bowling or to a skating rink the
fashion was simper then to super long skirts or long flared pants or the opposite super short
shorts (hot pants) or short skirts . The hair styles were just as simple long head bands and
colors ,lots and lots of colors but the best part of beeing a teen in the sixty's has to be
Woodstock and rally's , peace rally's, and the music was syckadellic and tansy so every thing
was laid back
