Hey mister DJ I'm calling you

Now can you play me some real cool tunes

Something that sounds like a long time ago

The kind of music that thrills my soul


You must have something in your record rack

A simple little song that can bring me back to when they


Sang up on the roof

And underneath the boardwalk when they'd go

Dancin' in the streets

Boogaloon' down on Broadway hey when

Lovers used to slow dance all night long

And they knew the words to every song


There's got to be somebody somewhere

Singin' some new old songs


Like Otis Redding "Sittin' On The Dock"

Or Bill Haley's "Rock Around The Clock"

When Buddy Holly loved sweet Peggy Sue

True love ways were all they knew

There's somethin' 'bout happiness heartbreak and hurt

That leaves me hangin on every word back when they


Sang up on the roof

And underneath the boardwalk when they'd go

Dancin' in the streets

Boogaloon' down on Broadway hey when

Lovers used to slow dance all night long

And they knew the words to every song


Now that radio's on and I'm stayin' up

Please dedicate it to the one I love like it was when they


Sang up on the roof

And underneath the boardwalk when they'd go

Dancin' in the streets

Boogaloon' down on Broadway hey when

Lovers used to slow dance all night long

And they knew the words to every song


There's got to be somebody somewhere

Singin' some new old songs

Just like in the fifties

High on a mountain of love

In the midnight hour

Oh knock on wood

Kiss an angle good morning

Your cheatin' heart
