Alsatian Frith Has Gone Away Songtext
von The Wibbley Brothers

Alsatian Frith and Frankie Ford have gone on a sea cruise
I saw them getting aboard, oh oh
They had to go
I went down to the candy store
There′s dirt on the floor
And boards on the door, oh oh
It was a long time ago

I haven't seen the Doo-wops since ′76
I haven't seen M'gubo since I went to the flicks
And he took my ticket at the door
He doesn′t sing any more
Harry and his band have given up the stage
I remember the time when they were the rage
Montrose and Herman have been put away
We always thought they′d stay

Dear Lord Nelson are you feeling ok?
There's not much to do when your friends are away, oh oh
It′s a shame about the snow


It's been a long while since I went to a show
Jet was on tour, but I didn′t go
He hasn't been too well since then
He won′t be touring again
The sixties came back and the seventies have gone
The eighties are with us but they won't last long
A new generation of popular stars
Are a part of the past

We're overnight sensations, we′re superstars
Diamond-studded tie-pins
And chauffeurs in cars
Oh oh, it all had to go
Alsatian Frith and Frankie Ford have gone on a sea cruise
I saw them getting aboard, oh oh
It was a long time ago

It′s been a long while since I went to a show
Terry was on tour, but I didn't go
He hasn′t been too well since then
He won't be touring again
I haven′t seen the Doo-wops since '76
I haven′t seen M'gubo since I went to the flicks
And he took my ticket at the door
He doesn't sing any more
