[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Well, the soda shop’s hummin’,
the jukebox is loud,
A nickel in the slot
gets the crowd jumpin’ proud.
Leather jackets swayin’,
poodle skirts in twirl,
A washboard rhythm
got the whole world in a whirl.
[Chorus]
Oh, let’s rock back to the 1950s b**t,
Where the skiffle strings
and the snap shoes meet.
From the train whistle blues
to the radio heat,
We’re dancin’ free on that ol’ moonlit street.
[Verse 2]
Sock hop floor shakin’,
the cat’s got a grin,
Elvis croons low,
and the teenagers spin.
Teacup bass thumpin’,
harmonica cry,
Under neon lights,
we’re reachin’ for the sky.
[Chorus]
Oh, let’s rock back to the 1950s b**t,
Where the skiffle strings
and the snap shoes meet.
From the train whistle blues
to the radio heat,
We’re dancin’ free on that ol’ moonlit street.
[Bridge]
Radio waves hum with a cracklin’ tune,
Cadillac fins gleam ‘neath a harvest moon.
Hand-clap rhythm,
a stomp and a shout,
The decade of dreams—
ain’t nobody gonna slow down!
[Chorus]
Oh, let’s rock back to the 1950s b**t,
Where the skiffle strings
and the snap shoes meet.
From the train whistle blues
to the radio heat,
We’re dancin’ free on that ol’ moonlit street.
[Outro]
