Golden Oldies
by Helen George
There'll be a whole lotta shakin' goin' on tonight,
And it's sure to bring a nostalgic delight,
You won't see line dancing, nor any swing,
We're goin' back to the time when Elvis was King!
Don that white sport coat and those blue suede shoes,
Don't be left home singin' the blues,
We'll rock around the clock at Palisades Park,
As a blue moon shines in a sky that's dark.
To "Love Me Tender" we'll dreamily sway,
And, on a sea of love, we'll drift away,
So, wake up little Susie, you're at the hop,
To Golden Oldies we'll dance 'til we drop!

ReplyDeleteVery good. You got ten of the eleven. The one you missed was in the second paragraph.
