|
Lying in bed on a weekday night listening to the title fight |
|
From a town the radio said was Atlantic City |
|
The branches brush the windows the hour is early evening |
|
And Frankie's beating hell out of the champion |
|
Frankie is the one, you know |
|
Frankie is the boy |
|
I hope my sister's listening |
|
From her place in Illinois |
|
And though the world is turning darkly |
|
All the stars are out tonight |
|
There are dreams still shining, redefining |
|
All that makes us feel alright |
|
I feel alright baby |
|
I feel alright |
|
Lying in bed in the afternoon listening to Frankie Lymon tunes |
|
While the people make their way home from the dusty city |
|
The breezes blow the curtains the hour is early evening |
|
Frankie's singing songs just like a champion |
|
Frankie was the one, you know |
|
Frankie was the boy |
|
My sister shook his hand the night |
|
He played at the Savoy |
|
Though the world was turning darkly |
|
All the stars were out that tonight |
|
There are dreams still shining, redefining |
|
All that makes us feel alright |
|
I feel alright baby |
|
I feel alright |
|
Frankie is the one, you know |
|
Frankie is the boy |
|
Frankie bears the weight of |
|
All our sorrow and joy |
|
For though the world is turning darkly |
|
All the stars are out tonight |
|
There are dreams still shining, redefining |
|
All that makes us feel alright |
|
I feel alright |
|
I feel alright |
|
I feel alright |
|
I feel alright baby |
|
I feel alright |
