A 50's Poem
Shoop, Shoop
Shoe, Wop, Wop
Shoop, Shoop
Shoe, Wop
The moment I laid eyes on you
I knew it was true love
You were sharing a root beer float with your friends
Down at the soda shop
I looked debonair in my Pompadour
You cute in your poodle skirt
I took out my comb to slick down the sides
As you smiled, giggled, and twirled
I asked if you'd like to go out
Just you and me on a date
I picked you up at seven o'clock
In my 56' Chevrolet
Your father gave me a stern look
Your mother a gleam in her eye
He asked where we were going
Why church sir, I said with a smile
Shoop, Shoop
Shoe, Wop, Wop
Shoop, Shoop
Shoe, Wop
I took you to the drive in
Bobs Burgers and Late Night Shakes
Afterward, we both went dancing
At the Hop just down the street
You had my heart all in a flutter
As we slowed danced all night
It was then I knew for certain
That I would make you my lovely wife
I got you home way past your curfew
Your dads silhouette by the front door
You said I can't go back to that
I pressed the peddle to the floor
So here we are these many years later
Me as your husband you as my wife
With our grandkids playing about our feet
Thinking back to that fateful night
Shoop, Shoop
Shoe, Wop, Wop
Shoop, Shoop
Shoe, Wop
