Lyrics

STREET CORNER SERENADES

The best years of my life,
were spent growing-up in da Bronx...
those happy, simpler days of old,
and the songs they played on the Jute-Box.

I remember The Adventures of Superman,
Howdy Doody, Bonanza, and Bandstand...
Lassie, and Captain Kangaroo,
I love Lucy, and The Merry Mailman.

I remember the candy at the movies,
The Popcorn, Milky-Way, Oh Henry,
Goobers, Chuckles, and Juicy Fruit,
Maryjanes, Milk-Duds, Good-n-Plenty.

(Chorus)

I remember the games out on the street,
flipping cards, and Johnny on the pony...
curb ball, punch ball, and stick-ball,
Marbles, kick the can, and skully.

But most of all I remember those love songs,
and the Street Corner Serenades...
The Penguins, Moonglows, and The Belmonts,
Oh what cool harmony they made.

(Chorus)
