Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

Play Bobby's Girl For Me

This fine woman has one hit song to her name.
One record in the top forty earned her fame.
It went up Billboard’s charts quickly, and quite well.
It would succeed after release; all could tell.
On every jukebox, Marcie’s music was found.
This song would be among the sweetest around.
With a piano, drums, a bass guitar,
and a male chorus, this recording went far.
“Bobby’s Girl” went all the way to number one,
way back in the year of 1961.
Two generations gone, and it still sounds great.
Marcie Blaine’s song is one that I can relate.
