The DooKumInn

from Down The Bright Stream by Vinny Peculiar

/

lyrics

They opened a fashion shop
At the end of our road
In 1973
It was called the DooKumInn

Looking for baggies, flares and bomber jackets
We all piled in
Bored teenagers in waiting
Egging each other on

They sold peace patches and stars n stripes
That was the one everybody liked
Ban the bomb CND
Posters of The Osmond’s & David Cassidy

But most of the clothes they were tat
No Wranglers no Levis no Jaytex no Brutus and no class

Then someone got banned for stealing from the shop and soon the DooKumInn became a laughing stock

It only lasted a matter of months and then it was gone forever
The shop was demolished new houses put up and
I gave up my paper round soon after that

My mother worked at Joans Babywear and Wools
In a shop that lasted for years
On the opposite side of the road
Next to the barbers


The Do Kum Inn
Come in do
