CHORUS ()There’s so much about the good old days I’d love to ()tell And there’s folks around I know still remember ()well Slow ()dancin’ close together when a ballad played ’Cause a thing called Rock and Roll was yet to ()come ( ) a big year for a drive-in rest’rant ()carhop ()That’s the way it was in fifty ()one.
