The Orlons Don't Hang Up Lyrics:
Don't hang up (no, no),
Oh, don't you do it now,
Don't hang up (no, no).
Don't hang up like you always do.
I know you think our love is true.
I'll explain the facts to you, don't hang up.
Give me a chance or our romance is through.
Don't hang up (no, no),
Oh, don't you do it now,
Don't hang up (no, no).
I took a walk with Mary Lou.
I ran around to visit Sue.
She had some boys I never knew. Don't hang up.
They took a ride, so, baby, I went too.
Stopped at the record hop,
I had to be a sport.
We stomped and we did The Slop.
Then you walked in and I was caught.
Don't hang up (no, no),
Oh, don't you do it now,
Don't hang up (no, no).
'Cause you got some explainin' too.
a-Like that chick I saw with you.
So talk fast like you always do.
Don't hang up.
You've got one chance or our romance is through.
[Instrumental break.]
Then you walked in and you were caught.

Oh, don't you do it now,
Don't hang up (no, no).
I didn't say our love was through.
But if we made a fool for two,
'Cause making up is fun to do.
Don't hang up.
'Cause no one else will ever do but you.
Don't hang up (no, no),
Oh, don't you do it now,
Don't hang up (no, no).
[Fade.]
Or you'll be sorry, baby.
Don't hang up (no, no).
You know I love you, baby.
Don't hang up...

[2] Cameo Parkway was the one major record label of the rock & roll era to not
see its material released on CD. The reason behind this is unclear. Alan
Klein, best known as the manager of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in the
late '60s, bought the label in 1968, turning it into ABKCO the following
year. All throughout the big CD reissue boom of the late '80s and early '90s,
Cameo Parkway sat in the vaults while other reissues flooded the marketplace.
Years passed and Cameo Parkway stayed far away from CD, although collectors
clamored for these sides. Just when it seemed like Cameo Parkway would never
make it to CD, ABKCO suddenly and surprisingly released the four-disc,
115-song box set Cameo Parkway 1957-1967 in May of 2005. This was a full 15
years after the peak of CD reissues and a full 40 to 45 years since the
label's heyday.]
