Before we married, mommy served in the WACs in the Philippines.

Every time I got to thinking 'Where'd they disappear?'

Then I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch

Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out.

Although the progression is correct there are a couple of glaring errors. The first intro should be G# to Bb. At the third verse it modulates up 1/2 step to C--G--F--C, with the chorus moving to C---A#7---G---F
