Do You Remember
Long Tall Ernie And The Shakers Lyrics

Think of all the stars from the 50's scene
Reflect on the famous musicians from the 1950s era

Jukebox heroes and all the screams
The excitement and noise of songs played on jukeboxes

Buddy Holly, Peggy Sue
Famous artist Buddy Holly and his hit song Peggy Sue

Ricky Nelson got Mary Lou
Ricky Nelson's song Mary Lou was popular

Do you remember?
Asking listeners if they remember these songs

Dewer Dennon fell when he sang 'Bird Dog'
Dewer Dennon's blunder during his performance of 'Bird Dog'

'Bonna Sera Senorita', 'Rock Around the Clock'
Reference to two classic songs from the time period

Famous musicians from the time period

Elvis Presley, 'Heartbreak Hotel'

Lucille, you don't do your daddy's will
Lyrics from Little Richard's song 'Lucille'

There ain't nothing to you but I love you still
Despite everything, the singer still loves Lucille

Johnny is a joker (He's a bird), a very funny joker (He's a bird)
Johnny is a comedic person

But when he jokes my honey (He's a dog), his joking ain't so funny (What a dog)
When Johnny's jokes become hurtful, he is compared to a dog

Johnny is a joker as he tried to steal my baby (He's a bird dog)
Johnny is a player and attempted to steal the singer's love interest

I'm-a walking in the rain
Walking in the rain, feeling down

Tears are fallin' and then I feel the pain
Crying and feeling hurt after a breakup

Wishing you were here by me to end this misery
Wanting the person they love to be there for them and help end the pain

And I wonder, wo, wo, wo, wo, wonder why, why, why, why, why, why she ran away?
Questioning why the singer's love interest left them

And I wonder where she will stay, my little runaway?
Wondering where the singer's love interest went after leaving

'I'm like a rubber ball', sang Bobby Vee
Lyrics from Bobby Vee's song 'Rubber Ball'

'Whole lotta shakin', played Jerry Lee'
Reference to Jerry Lee Lewis's hit song 'Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On'

'I'm so young and you're so old', another record that went gold

He likes bread and butter
Talking about someone's food preferences

He likes toast and jam
Talking about someone's food preferences

It's what his baby feeds him
The person's significant other provides them with these foods

He's her lovin' man
The person is loved by their significant other

Well, that's alright mamma
Showing acceptance and understanding to a person named 'mamma'

That's alright for you
Acknowledging that 'mamma' is allowed to do what they want

That's alright mamma, not just anyway you do
Accepting 'mamma's' choices, with some limitations

Man, that's alright, that's alright
Prior statement is reiterated

That's alright my mama, anyway you do
Further emphasis that 'mamma' can do what they want

Saturday night, I just got paid
The start of a fun weekend, with money to spend

A fool about the money, don't try to save
Not worrying about saving money and having fun instead

My heart says, 'Go, go, have a time'
The person is excited and ready to party

Saturday night, baby I feel fine
The start of a fun-filled night

I'm gonna rock it up
Dancing and having a great time

I'm gonna rip it up
Partying in an energetic way

I'm gonna shake it up
Dancing and being free

I'm gonna ball it up
Having a great time and living life to the fullest

I'm gonna rock it up and ball tonight
Dancing and having a great time all night

Jenny, Jenny, Jenny, won't you come along with me?
Asking Jenny if she wants to join the singer

You know that I love you
The singer has feelings for Jenny

We could live so happily
The potential for a happy life together
