Found on YouTube. This is 50's-style rock 'n' roll. I don't know why it wasn't a hit. It has a catchy tune and you can dance to it.


THAT'S GOOD, THAT'S BAD
As sung by Johnny Restivo*

CHORUS: That's good! That's bad! That's good! That's bad!
That's good! That's bad! That's good! That's bad!

1. Yesterday I found a dollar lyin' in the street. (That's good!)
No, because the gang was there, and I had to stand the treat. (That's bad!)
No, 'cause in the soda store was a cute new whistle-bait. (That's good!)
No, 'cause if I'd flirt the gang would tell my steady date.

CHORUS: That's good! That's bad! That's good! That's bad!

2. I bought popcorn, cakes, and hotdogs and potato chips. (That's good!)
No, 'cause all I thought about was how to kiss those lips. (That's bad!)
No, 'cause she was watching me and knew just how I felt. (That's good!)
No, 'cause all she did was sit and let her ice-cream melt.

CHORUS: That's good! That's bad! That's good! That's bad!

3. When my friends went home I knew just what to do. (That's good!)
No, 'cause I found out that she went steady too. (That's bad!)
No, because her steady treats her mean like mine treats me. (That's good!)
No, because the two of us were blue as we could be. (That's bad!)
No, 'cause by the time I walked her home she held me tight,
And we were goin' steady by the time we kissed goodnight. (That's good!)
That's right! (Yeah!)
