Looking For An Echo lyrics

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
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
