lyrics

TITLE: CRISCO MAN

BACK IN NINETEEN FIFTY SIX
THE GUYS AND CHICKS THEY GOT THEIR KICKS
ANYONE WHO MADE THE SEEN
COULD BE AS COOL AS OLD JAMES DEAN

BILL HALEY WAS THE MUSIC SCENE
HE CHANGED THE FAD TO NEW BLUE JEANS
LITTLE RICHARD DRESSED IN DRAG
ALL THE CARS HAD MOONS NOT MAGS

OH I REMEMBER WHEN-TO KISS HER WAS A SIN
THE BACK SEAT IT WEREN’T SO BAD
THAT IS UNLESS YOU MET HER DAD
THEN YOU MIGHT GET-KICKED AROUND
KNOCKED SENSLESS AS YOU HIT THE GROUND
BUT YOU LOVE HER SO YOUR BOUND
HER DADDY COULDN’T KEEP YA DOWN

(KEY CHANGE)

(SAX SOLO)

LIFE WAS DIFFERENT WAY BACK THEN
NOW IT’S COMIN BACK AGAIN
DO YOU REMEMBER IN THOSE DAYS
BUDDY HOLLY WAS THE CRAZE

ROCK N ROLL IS HERE TO STAY
FUNK MUSIC DON’T PAY TODAY
BRILLCREAM BUTCH WAX AXEL GREASE
CRISCO MAN WILL NEVER CEASE

(CHORUS)

( KEY CHANGE)

:Change’s to Female Vocals:

BIG BOPPER BUDDY HOLLY LITTLE RITCHARD TOO
ELVIS PRESLEY CARL PERKINS
AND THEY’RE BLUE SUEDE SHOES
DANNY AND THE JUNIORS THOSE FUN SOCK HOPS
THE DIAMONDS AND THE COASTERS AND THE SODA SHOPS
JERRY LEE AND DION MAN THEY SURE WERE HOT
RITCHIE VALENS BILL HALEY GAVE IT ALL THEY GOT
ALAN FREED COULD PICK THE BANDS WE LOVED TO HEAR
THE LYRICS TOLD THEIR STORY’S
WE HOLD SO DEAR
