Saturday morning serials chapters one through fifteen . . .
Flypaper, 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 . . .
Sticks, no 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-Ade, the Sadie Hawkins Dance . . .
Pedal pushers, ducktail hair, and peg in 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 ’n roll was new . . .
Crackerjack prize, stars in your eyes, ask Daddy for the keys . . .
Ah, do you remember these?

The boogey man, 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 hubcaps, 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, froggin’ your arm, loud mufflers, pitchin’ woo . . .
Goin’ steady, Veronica and Betty, white bucks and blue suede shoes . . .
Knock-knock jokes. Who’s there? Dewey. Dewey who?
Dewey ... remember these? Yes we do. Ah do we, do we remember these!
