The Lyrics
In the fifties girls wore Bobby sox
With brown and white saddle shoes
They liked rockin' all around the clocks
Rockabilly and blues..
Not like females now, so into sex
Wore long pleated skirts, plain
They had Buddy Holly in big specs
Mesmerizin' their brain..
Bobby sox..was all you'd see
Pony tails swung free
Good old Bobby sox,
Rock n' roll history
Rock n' roll history
Ricky Nelson, pure as applesauce
Crooned 'em all into a trance
Until Elvis showed he was the boss
Changed their innocent dance
Bobby sox..was all you'd see
Pony tails swung free
Good old Bobby sox,
Rock n' roll history
Rock n' roll history
Dick Clark ruled in Philadelphia
Every week on Bandstand
Acned kids and groups got wealthier
Anyone could sing grand
Bobby sox..is all you'd see
Pony tails swung free
Good old Bobby sox,
Rock n' roll history
Rock n' roll history
Nowadays teen-agers bump and grind
Hyped in an MTV vein
On young girls, nowhere, you'll ever find
Bobby sox white and plain
Bobby sox..was all you'd see
Pony tails swung free
Good old Bobby sox,
Rock n' roll history
Rock n' roll history
With brown and white saddle shoes
They liked rockin' all around the clocks
Rockabilly and blues..
Not like females now, so into sex
Wore long pleated skirts, plain
They had Buddy Holly in big specs
Mesmerizin' their brain..
Bobby sox..was all you'd see
Pony tails swung free
Good old Bobby sox,
Rock n' roll history
Rock n' roll history
Ricky Nelson, pure as applesauce
Crooned 'em all into a trance
Until Elvis showed he was the boss
Changed their innocent dance
Bobby sox..was all you'd see
Pony tails swung free
Good old Bobby sox,
Rock n' roll history
Rock n' roll history
Dick Clark ruled in Philadelphia
Every week on Bandstand
Acned kids and groups got wealthier
Anyone could sing grand
Bobby sox..is all you'd see
Pony tails swung free
Good old Bobby sox,
Rock n' roll history
Rock n' roll history
Nowadays teen-agers bump and grind
Hyped in an MTV vein
On young girls, nowhere, you'll ever find
Bobby sox white and plain
Bobby sox..was all you'd see
Pony tails swung free
Good old Bobby sox,
Rock n' roll history
Rock n' roll history

As they said back then... Neat, Daddy-O!
I wear tight brushed-soft denim long pants, with a full sueded black boots,Sir . . . ivory cotton blouse, Long-sleeved, open at the neckline . . . and yet, I get those awesome wolf whistes !
Very nice nostalgia, AFW and brilliant writing as always. 5's.
Are you hinting at your age, AFW? I really liked the tableau you painted. And very nice contrast to today's 'soxer's'. Very easygoing.
Thanks, Michael..yeah, Daddy-o..and thanks, Lady...they always talk about wolf whistles..but I didn't know a wolf could whistle..Thanks, Lee...appreciate the compl. and thanks, WarrenB..no hinting, I'm ooollldd!..
Ode to a much more innocent era...and very well done. ;D
Never thought about whether a wolf could whistle. Though I have wondered whether buffaloes have wings and chickens have fingers.
Thanks, OMR...and good tru-isms, Michael
Good stuff, AFW, but as Sonny & Cher pointed out, the beat goes on. People who like the music of generations before the 50s thought that 50s music was too different or not as good as their favorites, and many people who like today's music will undoubtedly bemoan the music of future generations when it goes in a different direction.
Thanks, John, and a very true analysis of the music game
