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
