I don't remember any verses... actually all I could recall was the chorus. I could've sworn that my grade school music teacher told us that she was the one who wrote this song. I could be completely mistaken, but I can't find any other record of it online. By chance, are you originally from the Jersey shore?Ro-Beast Rolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461980537490993760noreply@blogger.com
