A Very Good Year For Girls

(album: You Can Never Stop Me Loving You - 1963)

It was a very, very, very good year for girls
A very, very, very good year for girls

I recall, the year of '59
Made all the hops, and had a swinging time
Moving and a-grooving with Mary Lou
And, ooh, that Peggy Sue

That was a very, very, very good year for girls
A very, very, very good year for girls
But, baby, since we met
It's gonna be the best year yet

Oh '59 was great, we know
But how do 1960 go

Oh, what a year, my heart was in a whirl
'Cause everyday, I met a cuter girl
Call her up, make a date, off we go
But, baby, even though

It was a very, very, very good year for girls
A very, very, very good year for girls
Baby, since we met
It's gonna be the best year yet

Well, now we know that year was fun
But how'd you do in '61

In '61, I had myself a ball
That was the year, that really top 'em all
Barbara Joe, Sally Ann, Mary Jean
And each one was a queen

That was a very, very, very good year for girls
A very, very, very good year for girls
But, baby, since we met
It's gonna be the best year yet
It's gonna be the best year yet

It's gonna be the very best year yet
The very very very best year yet
It's gonna be the very best year yet
The very very very best year yet
