Je score:
We'll remember you forever, Eddie Through the sacrifice you made We can't beleive the price you paid For love... Little Eddie meddie[?] born in Jersey City Started singing when he was 5 Never knew his father, mother didn't bother To catch his last name, fast as he came He was ofter crying, times were really tryin' Eddie left his mother alone Soon there'd be a mystery, soon a baby sister His mother kept on swingin, and Eddie kept on singing A-Aaaaaaaaah, (shoowop shoowop) la la la laaaaaaaa La la la laaaaaaaaaaaa [Spoken in English with a Spanish accent] And now, the tragic story... Eddie's sister, Mary Louise, needed an operation. To get the money, he would have to become an overnight sensation. Eddie beleived the American people had wonderful, love giving hearts. His well publicized end, he considered would send his memorial album to the top of the charts... AND IT DID! A-Aaaaaaaaah, (shoowop shoowop) la la la laaaaaaaa La la la laaaaaa laaaaaa Shoowop shoowop aaaaaaaah, shoowop shoowop La la la laaaaaaaa La la la laaaaaa laaaaaa Goodbye... goodbye... When a young singer dies, to our shock and surprise, in a plane crash or flashy sports car. He becomes quite well known and the kindness he's shown, Made more than one post-mortem star. Well you did it Eddie. And though it's hard to applaud suicide_you gave all you could give So your sister could live. All America's choked up inside, mon! [Back to singing] We'll remember you forever, Eddie Through the sacrifice you made We can't beleive the price you paid For love... For love... For love... [A single clap pierces the silence/then applause erupts]
