Verse 1
CAmFG
At daydream junior highschool we used to harmonise
CAmFG
Me and Frankie and Jimmy and some Italian guy
FGCAm
We were singing oldies but they were newies then
FFG
And today when I play my old 45's I remember when
Verse 2
We practiced in a subway, in a lobby or a hall
Crowded in a doorway singing 'do waps' to the wall
And when 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:
GCAmFG
'Cause we were looking for an echo an answer to our sound
CAmFGCAmFG
A place to be in harmony a place we'd almost found ooooh
Bridge:
FC
And the girls would gather 'round us and our heads would really swell
FC
We'd sing songs by the moonglows, the harptones and the dells
FCAm
And when we sang sincerely, we really sang it high
FGG7
And even though it was falsetto we almost reached the sky
Verse 3
We've sung a lot of changes since 1955
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
'Cause we were looking for an echo an answer to our sound
A place to be in harmony a place we'd almost found
We were looking for an echo an answer to our sound
A place to be in harmony a place we'd almost found
Found..oooh....found...oooh..found (etc.)
