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
