Weequahic was our home
Sock hops, the Senior Prom, high school rings,
Roll-up collars – were the in-things.
Bennett, Martino, Seltzer, Feitel
Birnbaum, Pearl and Weiss.
They were our mentors, opened our minds' doors

We were not mall raaaaaaaaats.
Still we would shop at Bam’s
Woolworths’s, Kresge’s, Klein’s
Petticoat Junction, Gilligan’s Isle
Skelton, Dick Van Dyke
Prime time TV always was a Fam’ly Affair
Language content wasn’t a care
Drifters, Temptations, Bobby Rydell
Elvis, Leslie Gore
We Twisted, we Fruged, we Strolled, and we Flied
Class of Sixty-Four
Every year we fought to be state champs lead by the great Les Fein - beating Central High
We would scream and yeeeeeeeeeell
Cheering the team along
Oy, how we would kvel.
Hattoff’s, Margie’s, Bunny Hop, Ming’s,
Burgerama, Syd’s
Fifteen cents for hot dogs –seemed expensive then
We won’t see those prices again.
Calumet, Chancellor, Untermann Field
