Of Course, We Remember These!


A Great Song we probably could sing along with, thanks to Dorothy Minning Cuccia.  She even provided the lyrics. 



The Statler Brothers recorded this song 

"Do You Remember These"

 Saturday morning serials chapters 1 through 15

Fly paper, penny loafers, Lucky Strike Green

Flat tops, sock hops, Studebaker, Pepsi please

Ah, do you remember these?

 

Cigar bands on your hand, your daddy's socks rolled down

Styx nose plugs and aviator caps with flaps that button down

Movie stars on Dixie Cup tops and knickers to your knees

Ah, do you remember these?

 

The hit parade, grape Tru-Aid, the Sadie Hawkins dance

Pedal pushers, duck tail hair, and peggin' your pants

Howdy-Doody, Tutti-Frutti, the seam up the back of her hose

Ah, do you remember those?

 

James Dean, he was keen, Sunday movies were taboo

The senior prom, Judy's mom, rock and roll was new

Cracker Jack prize, stars in your eyes, ask daddy for the keys

Ah, do you remember these?

 

The bogeyman, lemonade stand, and takin' your tonsils out

Indian burn and wait your turn and four foul balls you're out

Cigarette loads and secret codes and savin' lucky stars

Can you remember back that far?

 

To boat neck shirts and fender skirts and crinoline petticoats

Mum's the word and a dirty bird and a double root beer float

Moon hub caps and loud heel taps and he's a real gone cat

Ah, do you remember that?

 

Dancin' close, little moron jokes, and cooties in her hair

Captain Midnight, Ovaltine, and The Whip at the County Fair

Charles Atlas Course, Roy Roger's Horse, and only The Shadow knows

Ah, do you remember those?

 

Gable's charm, Frog in your arm, loud mufflers, pitchin' woo

Going steady, Veronica and Betty, white bucks, and Blue Suede Shoes

Knock Knock jokes: Who's there? Dewey. Dewey who?

Do we remember these? Yes we do. Ah, do we, do we remember these

Two Classmates Enjoying Riverfest 2023

 

 

 Miss Ott’s homeroom pals!

Betty Meyer Lillge and Dot Minning Cuccia enjoying Riverfest every night, Thursday August 10th, 11th, 12, and here they are on Sunday August 13th.  
Scattered showers were in the forecast for Sunday, but Big Al & The Hi-Fi’s packed the park with The Drifters finishing up the day.
  “Once again the music was very entertaining for us old folks.  A little singing in the rain too," Dot Minning Cuccia said.
