There I was
Back in the day,
Back to my early teens.
That song took me there,
A song from so long ago
But I knew all the words.
“Come outside”
There I was waiting
Waiting with Mike,
“Come outside”
But he didn’t want me
He wanted his Little Doll.
“ Cause it ain\'t right
to wanna keep on dancin\'
there won\'t be any
time left for romancin’ “
The song just took me,
Took me back to those times
Nearly sixty years ago
When I learned the Twist,
Learnt it with Gloria.
Hearing this song
And many more of that era,
I could sing all the words.
And there I was in my car
Driving along to these songs,
Singing my head off
And so full of happiness.
“Come outside”.
