I was one among the many
Who still hadn’t gotten any
In the senior class of ‘59
Life’s sweet mystery
Was a fantasy to me
The reality was bound to come in time
I hung out at the drug store
And the waitress that I’d go for
Got all her clothes from Frederick’s of Hollywood
I stirred my Coco Cola
And sit and stare at Lola
‘Cause she could move a special way and would345
In the fall of ‘59
Such a shame those yesterdays are gone
In the Fall of ‘59
I could rock ‘n’ roll all night long
We’d pull into The Starlight
And watch the movies all night
The three of us would share a can of beer
Then I’d burn out on that highway
And floor my 40 Ford
Scared to death but I claimed I didn’t hear
Those were the happy days
Better in so many ways
When life was just an easy ride for me
That summer ‘n’ fall of ‘59
When I didn’t read between the lines
Innocent enough to still believe
In the fall of ‘59
Such a shame those yesterdays are gone
In the Fall of ‘59
I could rock ‘n’ roll all night long
All night long!
