I was a part of the 50's. That was a time, but now it's gone.
I was a part of the 50's. Yes, I was, and don't you know,
How well I remember Philadelphia, PA,
The capital of all the dance parties across the USA.
I was a part of the 50's. I sang a song that got ahead.
Goodbye Perry Como, Dinah Shore and Doris Day.
I was a part of the 50's. I sang a song that got ahead.
(Paul) I was a part of the 50's.

(Just recently found these -- WOW, What MEMORIES!!)

(words and music by Paul Evans)
I moon-dogged with Alan Freed when Rock 'n' Roll was born
It was hot, and if you missed it, you missed a lot.
That I saw half of Elvis Presley on the old Ed Sullivan Show.
Can you believe, that was forty years ago?
I sang "Seven little girls sittin' in the back seat
Kissin' and a-huggin' with Fred."
It hit the charts-and forever it will live in my heart!

Hello Elvis - Hello Little Richard, Rock 'n' Roll is here to stay!
I sang "Seven little girls sittin' in the back seat
Kissin' and a-huggin' with Fred."
It hit the charts-and forever it will live in my heart!

(Girls) We were a part of it, too.
(Both) If you weren't part of it - deep in the heart of it,
We feel sorry for you.
(HALF of ME!!)
