[Verse 1]
Lying in bed on a weekday night
Listening to the title fight
From a town the radio said was Atlantic City
The branches brush the windows
The hour is early morning
And Frankie's beating hell out of the champion

[Pre-Chorus]
Frankie is the one, you know
Frankie is the boy
I hope my sister's listening
From her place in Illinois

[Chorus]
And though the world is turning darkly
All the stars are out tonight
There are dreams still shining, redefining
All that makes us feel alright

[Post-Chorus]
I feel alright, baby
I feel alright

[Verse 2]
Lying in bed in the afternoon
Listening to Frankie Lymon tunes
While the people make their way home
From the dusty city
The breezes blow the curtains
The hour is early evening
And Frankie's singing songs just like a champion
[Pre-Chorus]
Frankie was the one, you know
Frankie was the boy
My sister shook his hand the night
He played at the Savoy

[Chorus]
And though the world was turning darkly
All the stars were out that night
There were dreams still shining, redefining
All that makes us feel alright

[Bridge]
Na na na na na na (Na na na na na na)
Na na na na na na
I feel alright, baby
I feel alright, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Frankie is the one, you know
Frankie is the boy
Frankie bears the weight of
All our sorrow and our joy

[Chorus]
Though the world is turning darkly
All the stars are out tonight
There are dreams still shining, redefining
All that makes us feel
Alright, yeah
[Outro]
I feel alright
I feel alright
I feel alright (Mmm)
I feel alright, baby
I feel alright
