Do you remember,
The year was 1956
When Frankie Lymon and the Teenages
Came into the mix
They used to rehearse
In the junior high school Stitt
And were very special
You’ll have to admit

Do you remember?
Are you aware
Of the trail that he blazed
Do you even care
When doo *** was born
They were right there
Singing their harmonies
In the hallway stair

Do you remember?
Their star shined so bright
And then diminished
Almost over night
They didn’t receive credit
For songs they would write
Their time was limited
In the spot light

Do you remember?
And did you morn,
When you heard the news
Frankie Lymon was gone?
He and the Teenages
Took the whole world by storm
See, he left a place in our hearts
That was warm
