about

New words to an old tune - the tune is based upon the classical piano piece "La Priere d'une Vierge" (A Maiden's Prayer), written by Tekla Bądarzewska-Baranowska, published in Paris in 1851. The words are new, but are in the 1950's style.

lyrics

A teenage girl, blue jeans and a pony tail
She fell in love, a love that was bound to fail
Lonely and blue, she longed to see him there
For she had been told, amid the rock and the roll
That he'd answer her rock and roll prayer

She prayed that he would return to her some day
He'd come back to her, and for ever he would stay
She prayed that some time she would see him there
For she had been told, anid the rock and the roll
That he'd answer her rock and roll prayer
