All I remember is the keyboard and the chorus: "I'm gonna try for 96 tears..."
What were the verses? I was driving a lowered 1954 Mercury two-door hardtop at that time on the Blvd. and it was just a damn cool song at the time. But I can't remember any of the verses.
I don’t guess I can recite the lyrics, but I ought to be able to! First, it’s “I’m gonna cry 96 tears ... 96 tears .... too many tear drops to be crying ... “ Then to the effect, “I was on top, but you got me down, but I’m gonna get back on top and you’ll be down, and you’re gonna cry ... 96 tears ... etc.”
He’s still playing that song, BTW. His legal name is “?”
