The Playmates The Playmates Meet The Rock-A-Teens Lyrics
1.Beep Beep

BEEP BEEP
The Playmates

(very slowly)
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep
While riding in my Cadillac
What to my surprise
A little Nash Rambler was following me
About one third my size
The guy musta wanted to pass me up
As he kept on tooting his horn
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep

(slowly)
I pushed my foot down to the floor
To give the guy the shake
But the little Nash Rambler stayed right behind
He still had on his brake
He musta thought his car had more guts
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep)
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep

(normal speed)
My car went into passing gear
And we took off with gust (whoosh)
Soon we were going ninety
Musta left him in the dust
When I peeked in the mirror of my car
I couldn't believe my eyes
The little Nash Rambler was right behind
You'd think that guy could fly
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep

(quickly)
Now we were doing a hundred and ten
This certainly was a race
For a Rambler to pass a Caddy
Would be a big disgrace
The guy musta wanted to pass me up
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep)
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep

(very quickly)
Now we're going a hundred twenty
As fast as I can go
The Rambler pulled along side of me
As if we were going slow
The fella rolled down his window
And yelled for me to hear
'Hey buddy how do I get this car outa second gear?'

(Jo-Ann)

I had a sweetheart, her name was Jo-Ann (Jo-Ann)
And if you saw her, you'd understa-and (Jo-Ann)
Why I can't forget her
The girl with the name, Jo-Ann

(Jo-Ann)
I was in heaven when I held her ha-and (Jo-Ann)
And all of her kisses, they were so gra-and (Jo-Ann)
And I really loved her
The girl with the name, Jo-Ann

Then one day she broke my heart
Why did she make me cry?
She said to forget her, but I never can
And I'm sure that I'll never try

(Jo-Ann)
I had a sweetheart, her name was Jo-Ann (Jo-Ann)
And if you saw her, you'd understa-and (Jo-Ann)
Why I can't forget her
The girl with the name, Jo-Ann

Jo-Ann
(Jo-Ann)
I had a sweetheart, her name was Jo-Ann (Jo-Ann)
And if you saw her, you'd understa-and (Jo-Ann)
Why I can't forget her
The girl with the name, Jo-Ann

3.Wait For Me

WAIT FOR ME
The Playmates

(Wait wait for me wait wait for me
Johnny wait for me)

When I first met her she was only three
And I remember how she followed me
She was always getting in my way

REFRAIN
And I still yes I still can hear her say
(Wait for me wait for me Johnny please wait for me
I love you more than I can hardly stand
Wait for me wait for me Johnny please wait for me
I'll grow up just as fast as I can
Wait for me wait for me wait for me wait for me)

As we grew older she would always wait
She'd wait for me by the schoolyard gate
I would yell at her to go away

REFRAIN

And now we're grown up but she didn't wait
And I'm in love with her but it's too late
She just married someone else today

REFRAIN

Johnny, wait for me!
(fade out repeating 'wait for me')
