Start Jamming...
Take a second now to have a look at some of our friends who've stopped [Bb] by to visit with us here [D] on American Bandstand.
Before we turn to the guest of the day, [C] let's look at some young faces.
[F] Everybody smiling today or we got sad ones?
Ah, we got [E] some mixed reactions today.
Happy, [G] sad, in between, and who [F] knows?
[Gm] As always, we're happy to have you here.
[C] In a couple of minutes you'll be meeting Major Lance.
A little bit later on, [G]
Jimmy Clanton will be [Eb] along.
[F] And as always, [C] we're swinging on a Saturday [Eb] here.
[N] Top ten board.
Next on the American Bandstand scene, we'll start with number ten.
That's Rick Nelson for you.
Somewhere by the times takes over the number nine spot.
Number eight, Nino Tempo and April Stevens.
The Serpent Bird is number seven.
Popsicles and icicles with the mermaids.
Love the way they spell that.
That's right, though.
Number five, as usual, Brenda Lee.
The nitty gritty number four, forget him, is number three.
There, I've said it again.
Number two, and this is the number one record.
