 
Dance Back To The 50's With Me
Lost In The 50's
Do you remember the vinyl that used to spin 'round,
When we danced at the high school to the 50's sound,
There was Elvis the king Buddy Holly too,
Bill Haley and the Comets to name just a few.
The girls wore bobbi socks with skirts to their knees,
Hair back in pony tail and make up to please,
They all looked good while doing their thing,
Up and dancin' while hearing Fats sing.
The guys looked cool with hair all slicked back,
Brylcream and cologne like "Leaders Of The Pack",
The penny loafers too with bright shiny pennies,
Was all they'd hold 'cause we didn't have many.
The restaurant was swarmin' on a Saturday noon,
Coke floats and french fries was all in the boom,
Chocolate sundaes with cherries topped with whipped cream,
All hoping to meet that special king or queen.
Going to the movies while out on a date,
The early showing and you dare not be late,
You sat through the movie just holding hands,
That was 'bout all the parents would stand!
The drive in movies were special indeed,
But to get there a car was always in need,
If you or a friend could swing such a thing,
Then Elvis took back seat 'cause you were the king.
Going steady with someone was all the big rave,
It cost you money and you'd sure have to save,
Allowance was small for a big time kid,
Borrow from your friends is all that you did.
Strings of yarn on a ring was a common sight,
Was all a girl could do to make it fit tight,
It was worn to say that the true love they'd found,
Had best not get caught ever foolin' 'round!
The hay rides, sleigh rides, and car rides too,
Hot steamy romance could be waiting for you,
Come Monday morning we're all back in class,
Wishing that week ends forever would last.
