Verse 1
C Am F G
At daydream junior highschool we used to harmonise
C Am F G
Me and Frankie and Jimmy and some Italian guy
F G C Am
We were singing oldies but they were newies then
F F G
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:
G C Am F G
'Cause we were looking for an echo an answer to our sound
C Am F G C Am F G
A place to be in harmony a place we'd almost found ooooh
Bridge:
F C
And the girls would gather 'round us and our heads would really swell
F C
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
F G G7
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.)
