DO YOU REMEMBER THESE (Don Reid - Harold Reid - Larry Lee)
A few weeks ago, I created a page about Burma Shave and the background music for that page was this Statler Brothers' song....Do You Remember These? I started thinking about the words to this song and had the idea for this page......to see how many out there "could remember these". In addition, I have the Statlers singing the song in the background, which is a departure from what I normally do for a couple of reasons, but I wanted those who may not be familiar with the song to hear it as they scroll down the page. I hope this brings back a lot of good memories for everybody!
Saturday morning serials chapters 1 through 15
(Green Lantern)
Fly paper, penny loafers, Lucky Strike Green
Flat tops, sock hops, Studebaker, Pepsi please
Ah, do you remember these
Cigar bands on your hand, your daddy's socks rolled down
Six snow floats, and aviator caps with flaps that button down
Movie stars on Dixie Cup tops and knickers to your knees
The hit parade, Grape Tru-Ade, The Sadie Hawkins Dance
Pedal pushers, duck tail hair, and peggin' your pants
Howdy Doody, Tutti-Frutti, the seam up the back of her hose
Ah, do you remember those
James Dean, he was keen, Sunday movies were taboo
The Senior Prom, Judy's mom, rock and roll was new
Cracker Jack prize, stars in your eyes, ask daddy for the keys
The boogey man, lemonade stand, and takin' your tonsils out
(that boogey man scares me today!)
Indian burn,, and wait your turn, and four foul balls you're out
Cigarette loads, and secret codes, and savin' lucky stars
Can you remember back that far
The boat neck shirts, and fender skirts, and crinoline petticoats
Mum's the word, and a dirty bird, and a double root beer float
Moon hub caps, and loud heel taps, and he's a real gone cat
Ah, do you remember that
Dancin' close, little moron jokes, and cooties in her hair
Captain Midnight, Ovaltine, and The Whip at the County Fair
Charles Atlas Course, Roy Roger's Horse, and only The Shadow knows
Gable's charm, Frog in your arm, loud mufflers, pitchin' woo
Going steady, Veronica and Betty, white bucks, and Blue Suede Shoes
Knock Knock jokes, and who's there; Dewey, Dewey who
Do we remember these, yes we do; ah do we, do we remember these?
Thanks for taking this little trip down memory lane; hope you enjoyed it!
