Sweet sixteen, goes to church just to see the boys
Laughs and screams and giggles at every little noise
Turns her face a little and turns her head awhile
But everybody knows she’s only putting on the style
(Chorus) Yeah - putting on the agony, putting on the style
That’s what all the young folks are doing all the while
And as I look around me, I’m sometimes apt to smile
Seeing all the young folks putting on the style
Young man in the hot-rod car, driving like he’s mad
With a pair of yellow gloves he’s borrowed from his dad
He makes it roar so lively just to see his girlfriend smile
But she knows he’s only putting on the style
(Chorus)
Preacher in the pulpit roars with all his might
Sing Glory Hallelula with the folks all in a fright
Now you might think he’s satan that’s coming down the aisle
But it’s only our poor preacher, boys, it’s putting on his style
(Chorus x 3)
Lonnie Donegan (Glasgow, 29 aprile 1931 – 19 novembre 2002) è stato un cantante e musicista scozzese considerato il padre dello skiffle, un genere musicale popolare negli anni '50. Iniziò la sua carriera come membro del gruppo di musica folk The Skiffle Group, che si esibiva nei pub di Glasgow. Nel 1954, con il nome Lonnie Donegan and His Skiffle Group, ottenne un successo internazionale con il brano «Rock Island Line», una versione skiffle di una canzone tradizionale americana. Donegan divenne rapidamente uno dei musicisti più popolari del Regno Unito, vendendo milioni di dischi e influenzando generazioni di artisti rock 'n' roll. Il suo stile musicale era caratterizzato da un ritmo vivace, melodie orecchiabili e testi semplici ma divertenti. Oltre a «Rock Island Line», altri suoi brani celebri includono «My Old Man's a Dustman» e «Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour (On the Bedpost Over Night)?». Donegan continuò a registrare musica fino alla fine degli anni '70, mantenendo un seguito di fan fedele. La sua eredità musicale è stata riconosciuta con il suo induzione nella Scottish Music Hall of Fame nel 2006.
