The Orlons: Where do all the hippies meet?
South Street, South Street.
Where the dancin' is elite.
South Street, South Street.

Rosetta: Alive by side we're loose and neat,
When we're stompin' down the street.
The Orlons: Hurry down,
Rosetta: Baby, to the
The Orlons: Hippest street in town!

Steve: Oh, baby.
The Orlons: Meet me, on South Street,
Rosetta: Oh, yeah,
The Orlons: Hurry on down.
Rosetta: Come on now,
The Orlons: Meet me on South Street,
The hippest street in town.

Steve: Well you take,
The Orlons: West Street, East Street, North Avenue,
Steve: 'Cause I know,
The Orlons: South Street's the best street,
To have a ball with you.

The Orlons: Do you hear that groovy beat?
South Street, South Street.
Don't it make you move your feet?
South Street, South Street.

Rosetta: Everybody gathers round,
'Cause they dig that crazy sound. Now,
The Orlons: Hurry down,
Rosetta: Baby, to the
The Orlons: Hippest street in town!

Steve: Oh, baby,
The Orlons: Meet me, on South Street,
Steve: Come on,/Rosetta: Oh, yeah,
Rosetta: Hurry on down. come on now
The Orlons: Meet me on South Street,
The hippest street in town.

Steve: Well you take,
The Orlons: West Street, East Street, North Avenue,

The Orlons: South Street's the best street,
To have a ball with you.

3Cameo 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.
