Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey

Was just a young'un in the big band era But it seems just like yesterday Listening to Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey Still love it right to this day Miller's Modernaires, and Dorsey's Pied Pipers With their smooth harmonic blend Chattanooga Choo-Choo and The Trolley Song Brought me so much pleasure no end Guess I was influenced by my older sisters Was not even ten at the time It just goes to show the impact they had made For those long ago days I still pine It wasn't until Elvis debuted in fifty-six When Rock'n Roll took over The Big Band era came quickly to a halt And ended it's popular exposure Don't even know what is popular today Or even if they've given it a name Guess I'm just an old guy living in the past Progress is the name of the game
