Bring Back The Good Old Rock ‘n’ Roll
Bring back the good old Rock ‘n’ Roll
we used to dance to.
Bring back the good old Rock ‘n’ Roll
that we used to know.
Bring back the good old tunes and artist too.
Bring back the giants on to the field
Elvis; Haley, Ricky Nelson and Buddy Holly just to name a few.
Let us hear again Duane Eddy and his twangy guitar,
Connie Francis asking Where The Boys Are.
Clarence ‘Frogman’ Henry warbling But I Do
and Cliff Richards mobbed by girls saying I Love You.
That is just to mention a few.
I remember the fifties and sixties
and the fun we had at the local dance halls
and jukeboxes blaring loud.
Johnny Cymbal with Mr Bass Man,
Danny and the Juniors At The Hop.
Larry Williams with Bonie Maronie
and the Monotones opening The Book Of Love
or standing in the rain to see the latest Presley film.
The Cascades playing in the Rhythm Of The Rain,
Dion and The Belmonts confessing
about being A Teenager In Love.
Johnny Tillotson singing Poetry In Motion
and Little Eva riding The Locomotion.
Oh the good old days when we were young.

Author’s Note.
The original had no date and was only partially finished. So for all us ‘oldies’ to reminisce a while, I finished it.
