Description
doo-wop you want! We wrote Evangeline based off of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic poem of the same title. The easiest reason why is because the main character has the same name of a boy a certain singer has pined over for years. Perhaps someday, he'll hear this song and she can be his Evangeline...
Lyrics
I don't wanna say his name but he's got the eyes of Elvis I could be his Evangeline only if he'd let me cowboys, indians, in dusty photographs are more likely to throw arrows into my back than cupid, oh cupid does he even know my name? {oh no!} oh if I could be that dark-haired boys' Evangeline ooo, ooo, ooo, oooo that old fellow had it right, reading love is too easy leave me some behind, I'll take anything you give me got grease between the lines you're the one I want nights in Nova Scotia make my heart-a-storm! oh cupid, oh cupid do you even know my name? oh if I could be that dark-haired boys' Evangeline ooo,ooo,ooo,ooo I should know better than this haven't even gotten one little kiss should I compromise, love you with my eyes? help me cupid! help, help me cupid! {fade...}
