Lyrics
GOOD DOO WOP
(Music and Lyrics Robert Wuagneux)
Let me take you to a place in time where the tops rolled down
The hippest cats and coolest chicks played their radios LOUD
Hey everybody did ya ever stop
To think what happened to GOOD DOO WOP
Music so simple love was so new
Dianna Laura, Peggy Sue
Finger snappin yeah... such a sight to see
Oh yeah...Darling
Let me take you to a place in time
Where the tops rolled down
On every corner of every street
Ooohs and Aaaahs sound so sweet
Johnny and Frankie Dion and Earl
Simple tunes for a simple world
Finger snappin yeah ...such a sight to see
Oh yeah...Darling
You didn't need a band just some clappin hands
The music just came ALIVE
In the Bronx 'n Queens don't forget Brooklyn
The music was the stuff of life
Cause every part went straight to your heart floatin as light as a feather
Things couldn't be better ...singin a capella
When the boys would chime the girls would find a reason to come around
Things were soundin good in the neighborhood
It felt so good to be alive
Cause every part went straight to the heart... floatin as light as a feather
Things couldn't be better singin a capella
So let me take you to a place in time
Where the tops rolled down
The hippest cats and coolest chicks played their radios LOUD
Don't worry Mom I'll be home long before the street lights go on!!!
