Looking for an Echo - Ol' 55

At daydream junior highschool we used to harmonise

Me and Frankie and Jimmy and some Italian guy

We were singing oldies but they were newies then

And today when I play my old 45's I remember when

We practiced in a subway, in a lobby or a hall

Crowded in a doorway singing «do waps» to the wall

And if we went to a party and they wouldn’t let us sing

We’d lock ourselves in the bathroom and nobody could get in

'Cause we were looking for an echo an answer to our sound

A place to be in harmony a place we almost found ooooh

And the girls would gather 'round us and our heads would really swell

We’d sing songs by the moonglows, the harptones and the dells

And when we sang sincerely, we really sang it high

And even though it was falsetto we almost reached the sky

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 my old 45's I remember when

We were looking for an echo an answer to our sound

A place to be in harmony a place we almost found

We were looking for an echo an answer to our sound

A place to be in harmony a place we almost found

Found.oooh…found…oooh.found
