Fifties' Rock

     Listen to the rock’n’roll of the fifties
       alive, raw, unfiltered, throbbing
     away in your ears, your veins, your pulse
       racing along with your feet… 

     From Elvis to Little Richard
       Jerry Lee Lewis to Richie Valens
     You’ll squirm, you’ll wiggle, your heart’ll        
       giggle ~ it’ll keep you off-balance 

     Don McClean sang of the day 
       the music died
     I say 50’s rock is here forever
       to stay ~ never ever to go away
