New Old Songs - Neal McCoy
Hey mister DJ I'm calling you 
Now can you play me some real cool tunes 
Something that sounds like a long time ago 
The kind of music that thrills my soul 

You must have something in your record rack 
A simple little song that can bring me back to when they 

Sang up on the roof 
And underneath the boardwalk when they'd go 
Dancin' in the streets 
Boogaloon' down on Broadway hey when 
Lovers used to slow dance all night long 
And they knew the words to every song 

There's got to be somebody somewhere 
Singin' some new old songs 

Like Otis Redding "Sittin' On The Dock" 
Or Bill Haley's "Rock Around The Clock" 
When Buddy Holly loved sweet Peggy Sue 
True love ways were all they knew 
There's somethin' 'bout happiness heartbreak and hurt 
That leaves me hangin on every word back when they 

Sang up on the roof 
And underneath the boardwalk when they'd go 
Dancin' in the streets 
Boogaloon' down on Broadway hey when 
Lovers used to slow dance all night long 
And they knew the words to every song 

Now that radio's on and I'm stayin' up 
Please dedicate it to the one I love like it was when they 

Sang up on the roof 
And underneath the boardwalk when they'd go 
Dancin' in the streets 
Boogaloon' down on Broadway hey when 
Lovers used to slow dance all night long 
And they knew the words to every song 

There's got to be somebody somewhere 
Singin' some new old songs 
Just like in the fifties 
High on a mountain of love 
In the midnight hour 
Oh knock on wood 
Kiss an angle good morning 
Your cheatin' heart
