The Teenagers and I are in the recording studio. We are currently preparing to record one more song for our new LP, The Teenagers: A New Tune. I wrote the song we are about to record, which is entitled "The Last Goodbye." "Hey, Alyssa, thanks for marking who sings what part. I appreciate it, darling," Joe says, smiling. Before I can respond with a simple "thank you," Harrington looks over at us and says "Alright! "The Last Goodbye," take one!" Here it goes!
"(Alyssa)
Ain't no headlights on the road tonight
Everybody here is sleepin' tight
Ain't nobody gonna find us here
We'll disappear
(Sherman)
There's a dancer in the arms of love
And she's dancin' on the sky above
And the truth is that we'll never know
Where love will flow
(All)
Aim high, shoot low
Gotta aim high and shoot low, baby
Ain't no headlights on the road tonight
Ain't nobody here to make it right
'Cause we couldn't seem to find a way
For love to stay
If you had another night to give
I would have another night to live
But you're never gonna see me cry
The last goodbye
(Jimmy)
Is it cloudy where you are tonight?
Are the neon lights shining bright?
Are you looking for a place to stay
To get away?
(Herman)
And the days are horses down the hill
Running fast with no time to kill
And the truth is that we'll never know
Where love will flow
(All)
Aim high, shoot low
Gotta aim high and shoot low, baby
Ain't no headlights on the road tonight
Ain't nobody here to make it right
'Cause we couldn't seem to find a way
For love to stay
If you had another night to give
I would have another night to live
But you're never gonna see me cry
The last goodbye
(Joe)
If I had one more chance
I'd do it all again, over again
(Joe and Alyssa)
And if I got one more chance
I wouldn't change a thing
(Alyssa, Herman, Sherman)
Aim high, shoot low
Aim high, shoot low!
(All)
Ain't no headlights on the road tonight
Ain't nobody here to make it right
'Cause we couldn't seem to find a way
For love to stay
If you had another night to give
I would have another night to live
But you're never gonna see me cry
The last goodbye"
I look up at Harrington when we finish recording, and he looks back at the other Teenagers and I, giving us a thumbs-up. "Alright! That was great! Hey, you five need to come in here so we can go over what tracks will be on the LP." I hold Sherman's hand, and we follow the other three Teenagers into the part of the studio where Harrington is. Harrington hands Herman a paper, and Herman shows us the paper.

Sherman says "That's a good tracklist, Mr. Carisi!" I chime in, saying "Yeah, I like that! I just hope our cover of "Where or When" does good. After all, Dion and the Belmonts did just release their cover of the song." "Oh, with my voice on lead vocals, our version will definitely be amazing," Joe confidently says. Harrington laughs and says "So, should I give the go-ahead for the release?" Herman, Jimmy, Joe, Sherman, and I all look at each other before confidently saying "Yes!" I'm excited about the release of the new LP. It's going to be so exciting to see what people think of the new LP!
