Saturday morning serials Chapters one through fifteen Fly paper, penny loafers, and lucky strike green Flat tops, sock hops, Studebaker, "Pepsi, please" Ah, do you remember these? Cigar bands on your hands Your daddy's socks rolled down Sticks, no plugs and aviator caps, with flaps that button down Movie stars on Dixie cup tops and knickers to your knees Ah, do you remember these? The hit parade, grape truaide, the Sadie Hawkins dance Peddle pushers, duck tail hair, and peggin' your pants Howdy doody Tootie fruitie 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 'n roll was new Cracker jack prize Stars in your eyes "ask daddy for the keys" Ah, do you remember these? The boogie man, lemonade stand and taking your tonsils out Indian burn and wait your turn and four foul balls You're out! Cigarette loads and secret codes and saving lucky stars Can you remember back that far? To boat neck shirts and fender skirts and crinoline petticoats Mums the word and dirty bird and double root beer float Moon hubcaps and loud heel taps and "he's a real gone cat" Ah, do you remember that? Dancing close, little moron jokes and "cooties" in her hair Captain midnight, ovaltine, and the whip at the county fair Charles atlas course, Roy Rogers horse, and "only the shadow Knows" Ah, do you remember those? Gables charms, "froggin" your arm, loud mufflers, pitching woo Going steady, veronica and betty, white bucks and blue suede shoes Knock, knock jokes Who's there? Dewey Dewey who? Dewey Remember these Yes we do! Oh do we? Do we remember these!
