Lyrics

At Daydream Junior High School we used to harmonize
Me and Frankie and Jimmy and some Italian guy
We were singing oldies but they were newies then
And today when I play my old 45's I remember when
We practiced in a subway, in a lobby or a hall
Crowded in a doorway singing doo-wops to the wall
And if we went to a party and they wouldn't let us in
We'd lock ourselves in the bathroom and nobody could get in
'Cause we were looking for an echo, an answer to our sound
A place to be in harmony, a place we almost found
And girls would gather 'round us and our heads would really swell
We'd sing songs by the Moogles, the Hawktones and the Dells
And when we sang sincerely we really sang it high
Even though it was falsetto we almost reached the sky
We've sung a lot of changes since nineteen fifty-five
And a lot of bad arrangements we tried to harmonize
Now we've turned into oldies but we were newies then
And today when I play my old 45's I remember when
We were looking for an echo, an answer to our sound
A place to be in harmony, a place we almost found
We were looking for an echo, an answer to our sound
A place to be in harmony, a place we almost found
Found, found, found
A place we'd almost found
