Looking For An Echo

At Erasmus Hall High School, we used to harmonize
 Me and Benny and Ira and two Italian guys
 We were singing oldies, but they were newies then
 And today when I play my own 45'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
 'Cause we were looking for an echo, an answer to our sond
 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 1955
 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 45's, I remember when...
 We were looking for an echo, an answer to our sond
 A place to be in harmony
 A place we almost...
 Looking for an echo, an answer to our sound
 A place to be in harmony. A place we almost...
 Looking for an echo, an answer to our sound
 A place to be in harmony. A place we almost...
 We were looking for an echo. An answer to our sound
 A place to be in.
