In the Still of the Night Dwm
Dance tonightl at the all girls Catholic high school.
Come on join us tonight, we are all looking cool,
New leather saddle shoes, bright, white ankle socks.
Hair high in a pony tails with satin ribbons, we were ready to rock.
Jackie's pink Angora sweater, soft as a baby kitten.
How she longed for Tommy across the dance floor, with whom she so was deeply smitten!
The nuns were on the sidelines to be sure nobody did not dance too close.
The music began and all hearts to the ceiling, mightily rose.
Tommy was coming toward her, his cheeks all blushing, a gorgeous shade of rose.
Jackie jumped up in that twirly gray poodle skirt, heart pounding like a gigantic firehouse.
The gym was not dark or romantic in anyway.
After all, the priests and nuns were there to be sure their bodies, did not close-
in any sensous way.
"In the Still of the Night," by the Satins, was the love song of the night.
"Hound Dog" by Elvis, put the nuns into a state of religious fright.
The boys were perfect gentlemen and oh,so sugar sweet.
The girls found them delightful, more than the best filled, confectionary treat.
All too soon,this dashing dance evening did end...
Some went home with parents, but the luckier girls went in '56 Chevy Bel-Air ragtops, a most popular trend.
