What Ever Happened?
copyright 2006 Michael Duer

Verse 1
Always loved to listen to my folks
While watchin? old reel to reels
Flippin? thru black and white photos
Relivin? their younger years

PreChorus
One time I got to thinkin? and I asked (hey mom and pop)

Chorus 1
What ever happened to sock hops?
Goin? crazy to rock around the clock?
Cheek to cheek dancin?, yeah ey ey, did you fall in love then?
Whatever happened to poodle skirts?
Greased ducktails and tight tee shirts
You might get a second glance, if you wore pegged pants

Verse 2
They leaned back in the couch and smiled
Said son those were the glory days
If you stop and think a while
There just part of what made this country great

PreChorus
Sometimes we wish we could go back (like when you ask)

Chorus 2
What ever happened to five and dimes
You tried a hula hoop for the first time
Were you on cloud 9 you bought your first 45?
What ever happened to curbsides?
Order up a burger, shake and fries
What it mean to take your date, to see a submarine race?

Chorus 3
What ever happened to doo-wop (doo wop di d di, doo wop di di di)
The Platters, Penguins, Del Vikings, Ink Spots
Don?t think we?ll ever see, the fabulous harmony
What ever happened to cars with fins?
When thick white walled tires were in
The drive-in?s where you?d go, for some back seat bingo

Outro
Did you have it made in the shade?
Growin? up in the fifties
