Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

- play over and over until

Verse comes in.

Verse

 At Erasmus Hall high school we used to harmonize

Me and Frankie and Adam and two Italian guys

We were singing oldies but they were newies then

 And today when I play my old 45's I remember when

Verse

 We practiced in a subway, in a lobby or a hall

Crowded in a doorway singing do waps to the wall

 And if we went to a party and they wouldn't let us sing

 We'd lock ourselves in the bathroom and nobody could get in

Chorus

'Cause we were looking for an echo an answer to our sound

 A place to be in harmony a place we'd almost found ooooh

Bridge

 And the girls would gather 'round us and our heads would really swell

 We'd sing songs by the Moonglows, the Harptones and the Dells

 And when we sang sincerely, we really sang it high

 Even though it was falsetto we almost reached the sky

Verse

 We've sung a lot of changes since 19 55

 And a lot of bad arrangements we've tried to harmonise

 Now they've turned into oldies but they were newies then

 And today when I play those old 45's I remember when

Chorus

 'Cause we were looking for an echo an answer to our sound

 A place to be in harmony a place we'd almost ...

 looking for an echo an answer to our sound

 A place to be in harmony a place we'd almost ...

 looking for an echo an answer to our sound

 A place to be in harmony a place we'd almost found

NOTE: Depending on Kenny Vance and the Planotones mood

they sometimes change the ending up. They will use

parts from two other doo-wop songs.

In that case play D Bm G A7 over and over until end.

These are the additional lyrics they will use:

Verse

Wooooooh - Oooooooooh - Oooooooooh - Oh

You are an angel

Angel divine

You're sent from heaven

You're really mine

Oh darling

Oh darling

Oh, oh my darling

Lorraine

Verse

Oh what a night

This is the night

This is the night

This is the night for love

Sing the second VERSE* 6 times - then fade out....
