THE DOO WOP SONG
I was playing Bogie and you Becall
or was I James Dean I can't recall
I could have been Frankie and you Annette
those good old days I can't forget
greasers in the bathroom tapping out a song
jocks writting down girls names on the wall
and every guy believed tonight he'd score
odds were ten to one he'd get nothing at all
WHEN WE WERE DOO WOPEN TO THE JUKE BOX
BEEP BOPPEN ALL AROUND THE CLOCK
AND HEAVEN TO US WAS THE BACK SEAT OF MY FIFTY SEVEN CHEVROLET
AS THE RADIO PLAYED IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT AS WE BOTH LOVED THE NIGHT AWAY
AND THE QUEEN OF HEARTS ON THE RECORD CHARTS HAD US DANCING IN THE STREET
THE LAST TIME I HELD YOU TIGHT THEY WERE PLAYING BE MY BABY PLEASE
walking through the hall with my high school dream
Sedaka singing she's only sweet sixteen
passing love letters in the halls
breaking up and going back as I recall
songs for the times you cried all alone
times we made love when no one was home
told each other we'd have no regrets
all those promises we just never kept
WHEN WE WERE DOO WOPEN TO THE JUKE BOX
BEEP BOPPEN ALL AROUND THE CLOCK
AND HEAVEN TO US WAS THE BACK SEAT OF MY FIFTY SEVEN CHEVROLET
AS THE RADIO PLAYED IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT AS WE BOTH LOVED THE NIGHT AWAY
AND THE QUEEN OF HEARTS ON THE RECORD CHARTS HAD US DANCING IN THE STREETS
THE LAST TIME I HELD YOU TIGHT THEY WERE PLAYING BE MY BABY PLEASE
WHEN WE WERE DOO WOPEN TO THE JUKE BOX
BEEP BOPPEN ALL AROUND THE CLOCK
AND HEAVEN TO US WAS THE BACK SEAT OF MY FIFTY SEVEN CHEVROLET
AS THE RADIO PLAYED IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT AS WE BOTH LOVED THE NIGHT AWAY
AND THE QUEEN OF HEARTS ON THE RECORD CHARTS HAD US DANCING IN THE STREETS
THE LAST TIME I HELD YOU TIGHT THEY WERE PLAYING BE MY BABY PLEASE
Elvis singing are you lonesome tonight
the wolf man howled into the dead of night
pretty woman walking down the street
and if only the lonely could ever meet
watching Dick Clark in the afternoon
dancing by myself up in my bedroom
as the DJ played do you remember when
and music only played in 45 rpm
BRIDGE
we gave you Beach Boys , Beatles and the Rolling Stones
Motown music and a thing called soul
so don't you cry Miss American pie
Rock and Roll - Rock and Roll will never die
By VjKelly 1993 (c) Bridge by Harry Chapin

Kids, go learn about the late, great Harry Chapin. A good man who cared deeply about the artistic community on Long Island....and taken far too early.
