I used to play a song that was popular when I was a kid in the late 50s or early 60s. It played constantly at the skating rink! It was uptempo. I think maybe a 12-string guitar was used. I want to sing "Step right up, walk right in, baby, put your blah blah on." Maybe it's "Walk right up, sit right down?" Can't remember. A guy/girl duet. I googled and came up empty. I remember I used to like to play this on guitar. Any ideas?

EDIT: found it. Never would've thought of "Rooftop Singers." That must've been a one hit wonder!

Walk Right In
The Rooftop Singers

Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy, let your mind roll on
Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy, let your mind roll on
Everybody's talkin' 'bout a new way of walkin'
Do you want to lose your mind?
Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy, let your mind roll on

Walk right in, sit right down
Baby, let your hair hang down
Walk right in, sit right down
Baby, let your hair hang down
Everybody's talkin' 'bout a new way of walkin'
Do you want to lose your mind?
Walk right in, sit right down
Baby, let your hair hang down

Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy, let your mind roll on
Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy, let your mind roll on
Everybody's talkin' 'bout a new way of walkin'
Do you want to lose your mind?
Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy, let your mind roll on
Daddy, let your mind roll on

Ah the folk era....some of that stuff was really cheesy. Anyone see "A Mighty Wind"? How funny...at least as funny as "Spinal Tap" for those of us old enough to be around when it was happening!

Wow, I didn't realize... this song has ONE verse that repeats three times with no changes. Now, THAT is unusual. I doubt it'd make it these days. I think what drove that song was the guitar riff. Well, that and singalongability.

Brings back memories--I can remember back during the folk craze and everyone had guitars. We sat around and sang that song and others, such as "This Land Is Your Land" "Tom Dooly", etc. Folk was pretty big.

Somehow it's Dr.Hook's version who strike
my mind when thinking of this song.
But that was of course a bit later than the
50's, more 80's I guess.
