At Erasmus Hall high school we used to harmonize

Me and Frankie and Adam and two Italian guys

F G7 C Am

We were singing oldies but they were newies then

F G7

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

VERSE:

C Am F G7

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

C Am F G7

Crowded in a doorway singing do waps to the wall

F G7 C Am

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

F G7

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

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

C Am F G C Am F G7

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

BRIDGE:

F G7 C C7

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

F G7 C C7

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

F C Am

And when we sang sincerely, we really sang it high

Even though it was falsetto we almost reached the sky

C# Bbm F# G#7

We've sung a lot of changes since 19 55
