Unpack LPs, turn back the clock!
It’s birthday time for Larry Stock,
Who thrived before the days of rock.
To those who say, it’s only schlock,
I say, perhaps, but do not mock,
Or, think again before you do,
Of stars who lined up in a queue
To sing his songs when they were new,
And you will see it’s quite a crew.
And not a roster to pooh-pooh, –
So Happy Birthday now... (I’m through)!
