When I was young
I'd listened to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
Waiting they played I'd sing along
It made me smile
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well
Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-wo-wo
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing's
So fine
When they get to the part
Where he's breakin' her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more
Lookin' back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed
It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away
Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-wo-wo
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing's
So fine
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more
Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-wo-wo
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing's
So fine
Well, she got her daddy's car
And she cruised through the hamburger stand-now,
Seems she forgot all about the library
Like she told her ol' man-now,
And with the radio blastin' goes cruisin'
Just as fast as she can-now
And she'll have fun, fun, fun,
Till her daddy takes the T-bird away
INSTRUMENTAL
Well you knew all along that your dad
Was gettin' wise to you-now
(Should'na lied now, should'na lied)
And since he took your set of keys you've been
Thinkin' that your fun is all through-now
(Should'na lied now, should'na lied)
But you can come along with me 'cause we
Gotta lotta things to do-now
And we'll have fun, fun, fun
Now that daddy took the T-bird away
Fun, fun, fun
Now that daddy took the T-bird away
Fun, fun, fun
Now that daddy took the T-bird away
Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me anymore?
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the starts glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why ev'rything is the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does!
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine crying?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
Don't they know It's the end of the world?
It endend when you said goodbye
I met him on a Monday and my heart stood still
Da doo ron ron ron
Da doo ron ron
Somebody told me that his name was Bill
Da doo ron ron ron
Da doo ron ron
Yeah, my heart stood still
Yeah, his name was Bill
And when he walked me home
Da doo ron ron ron
Da doo ron ron
Yeah, he looked so fine
Yeah, I'll make him mine
And when he walked me home
Da doo ron ron ron
Da doo ron ron
Yeah da doo ron ron
Da doo ron ron ron
Da doo ron ron
Yeah da doo ron ron
Da doo ron ron ron
Da doo ron ron
The street was desserted late Friday night
We were buggin' each other while we sat out the light
We both popped our clutch when the light turned green
You should have heard the wine from my screamin' machine
I flew past La Brea, down to Crescent Heights
And all the Jag could see were my six tail lights
He passed me at Doheny and I started to swerve
But I pulled her out and there we were at Deadman's Curve
Deadman's Curve is no place to play
Deadman's Curve
(SPOPKEN)
Well, the last thing I remember Doc.
I started to swerve, and then I saw the Jag slide into the curb
I know I'll never forget that horrible sight
I found out for myself, that everyone was right
Won't come back from Deadman's Curve
Deadman's Curve is no place to play
Deadman's Curve you best keep away
Deadman's Curve I can hear them say
Won't come back from Deadman's Curve
Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel
Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel
You're an angel to me
Johnny Angel
How I love him
How I tingle
When he passes by
Everytime he says "hello"
My heart begins to fly
Johnny Angel
How I want him
He's got something
That I can't resist
But he doesn't even know
That I exist
I'm in heaven
I get carried away
I dream of him and me
And how it's gonna be
Other fellows
Call me up for a date
But I just sit and wait
I'd rather concentrate
On Johnny Angel
'Cause I love him
And I pray
That someday he'll love me
And together we will see
How lovely Heaven will be
And together we will see
How lovely Heaven will be
