CQ Serenade Words and music by VE2BR and VE2QS
-----------------
Dah-di-dah-dit, dah-dah-di-dah
Dah-di-dah-dit, dah-dah-di-dah
Whaddya hear, over the air:
CQ Serenade.

So you don't know just what it means
Dust your shoes off, shake out your jeans
Get on your feet, jump to the beat
Of CQ Serenade.

CQ - has gone and brought us a new rhythm
That's swinging all the cats by the ear,
Let's do ourselves a favour and get with 'em;

You'll find you get the message, man you'll hear it come in loud and clear

Doesn't matter what words you sing
Just remember the beat's the thing
Get on the beam, carry the theme
Of CQ Serenade.

Dah-di-dah-dit, dah-dah-di-dah
Dah-di-dah-dit, dah-dah-di-dah
Whaddya hear, over the air:
CQ Serenade.

Amateurs on the radio
Picked it up and then made it grow,
Spread it around, swelling the sound
Of CQ Serenade.

From India a call to the U.S.A.:
I'm reading you, you're coming through fine;
From Canada to France and the old U.K.
For when it comes to radio the world's one great big party line

Tune in anywhere on the band
Any corner of any land
Let’s "put it there" right on the air
With CQ Serenade.

Dah-di-dah-dit, dah-dah-di-dah
Makes a fellow feel "lah-dee-dah"
When he unbends, making new friends
With CQ Serenade.

[
Clap your hands, pal, and tap your feet

Till we all dig the friendly beat,
Till all you hear over the air
Is CQ Serenade.
]

It really doesn't matter at all -CQ-
How smooth you make the signals combine;
And anyone can answer the call -CQ-
Just make with the receiver and get on the CQ party line

Take your cue from the radio
Even "beatnicks" go "do dee do"
It's everywhere, filling the air
That CQ Serenade.

* beatnicks: 비트 족

비트 세대 [위키백과, 우리 모두의 백과사전.]

비트 세대(Beat Generation)는 1950년대 미국의 경제적 풍요 속에서 획일화, 동질화의 양상으로 개개인이 거대한 사회조직의 한 부속품으로 전락하는 것에 대항하여, 민속음악을 즐기며 산업화 이전시대의 전원생활, 인간정신에 대한 신뢰, 낙천주의적인 사고를 중요시하였던 사람들이다. 이들은 1920년대의 '상실세대(Lost Generation)'처럼 기성 세대의 주류 가치관을 거부 하였다.
