Tonight

(Doo-wop, doo-wop-de-wop)

Could be the night
(Doo-wop, doo-wop-de-wop)
(Doo-wop, doo-wop-de-wop)

To hear her say
(Doo-wop, doo-wop-de-wop)
(Doo-wop, doo-wop-de-wop)

Darling, I do

(Doo-wop, doo-wop-de-wop)

To get the ring
(Doo-wop, doo-wop-de-wop)
(Doo-wop, doo-wop-de-wop)

Around your finger
(Doo-wop, doo-wop-de-wop)

Oh my darling, hold me tight
And tonight, just could be the night
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, yeah

Could be the night
(Doo-wop, doo-wop-de-wop)
(Doo-wop, doo-wop-de-wop)

To fall in love
(Doo-wop, doo-wop-de-wop)
(Doo-wop, doo-wop-de-wop)

With someone like you-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(Doo-wop, doo-wop-de-wop)

Oh my darling, hold me tight
And tonight, just could be the night
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, yeah

To get that ring
(Doo-wop, doo-wop-de-wop)
(Doo-wop, doo-wop-de-wop)

Around your finger
(Doo-wop, doo-wop-de-wop)

Oh my darling, hold me tight
For tonight
Is the night

Tonight Could Be The Night
  • The Velvets were a five-man Doo Wop group formed in 1958 by Virgil Johnson. Virgil taught English in Odessa and Lubbock Texas, and eventually became a high school principal in Lubbock. For many years, he DJ'd part-time at the Lubbock rock station KDAV.
  • This was included on their first album, which they recorded in Nashville at the invitation of Roy Orbison. The group also had a hit with "Lana," which was written by Orbison and reached #1 on the Japanese charts. (thanks, David - Lubbock, TX, for above 2)
