Karaoké Looking for an Echo Kenny Vance

At Erasmus Hall High School we used to harmonize

Me and Benny and Aaron and two Italian guys

We were singing oldies but they were newies then

And today when I play my own forty-five's I remember when

We'd practice in a subway in a lobby or a hall

Crowded in a doorway singing doo wops to the wall

And if we went to a party and they wouldn't let us sing

We'd lock ourselves in the bathroom

And nobody could get in

'Cos we were looking for an echo an answer to our sound

A place to be in harmony

A place we almost found

And the girls would gather 'round us

And our heads would really swell

We'd sing songs by the Moonglows

The Harptones and the Dells

And when we sang Sincerely we really sang it high

Even though it was falsetto we almost reached the sky

We've sung a lot of changes since nineteen fifty-five

And a lot of bad arrangements we've tried to harmonize

Now we've turned into oldies but we were newies then

And today when I play my own forty-five's I remember when

We were looking for an echo an answer to our sound

A place to be in harmony

A place we almost found

We were looking for an echo an answer to our sound

A place to be in harmony

A place we almost found

We were looking for an echo an answer to our sound

A place to be in harmony

A place we almost found
