Looking for an Echo

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 wops" 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 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
Oooh

We were looking for an echo
An answer to our sound
A place to be in harmony
A place we almost found

Oooh... found...
Oooh.found
Oooh.found
Oooh.found
