In the '70s there was long hair

There were left-over hippies everywhere

And I should know 'cause I was there

In the '70s they had prayer mats

There were stringy beards and floppy hats

And men looked like Jesus in crushed velvet flares

And in the '70s there were Osmonds

There were lots of Osmonds

There were lots of little Osmonds

Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere

In the '70s there were skinheads

There were bovver boys and brummie reds

And Greasers, grebos, Judge and Natty Dread

In the '70s there were chopper bikes

Oxford bags and kung fu fights

Trojan sounds, Lee Perry dub

And in the '70s there were Osmonds

There were lots of Osmonds

There were lots of little Osmonds

Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere

In the '70s there were lots of bombs

They blew my home town up

And lots of people were killed

On the news the relatives cried

Everyone knew someone who'd died

They'll never forget it for the rest of their lives

And all around the people say

"We hate the IRA

And we asked for justice but it never came"

And in the '70s there were Osmonds

There were lots of Osmonds

There were lots of little Osmonds

Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere

In the '70s there was Hughie Green

Lieutenant Pigeon hit the scene

Paper Lace and Candlewick Green

Mouldy Old Dough, Chicory Tip

Gilbert O and Hurricane Smith

Billy Don't Be a Hero, hey David rock on!

In the '70s Lesley Whittle died

The Black Panther went inside

And Jeremy Thorpe, oh he resigned

And at school the girls would bring

A thousand volts of Holt and sing

Hey There Lonely Girl, Impossible Love

And in the '70s there were Osmonds

There were lots of Osmonds

There were lots of little Osmonds

Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere

In the '70s the rollers came

And Best retired from the game

And Cassidy quit, oh what a shame!

In the '70s I was just a kid

Still knew what it was all about

I soaked it in now it's all dripping out

And in the '70s there were Osmonds

There were lots of Osmonds

There were lots of little Osmonds

Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere

Osmonds, now

Oh now there were lots of paper roses

Yeah there were lots of crazy horses

Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere
