  • Sitting in the sand
    We were holding hands.
    You whispered I love you
    Just between you and me

    Everyone had gone
    We stayed on and on
    Vowing to be lovers
    Just between you and me

    I won't tell my mother
    I won't tell my brother
    They don't think that we're of age
    No congratulations, until graduation
    Then we'll turn life's page

    'Til we tell the world
    We will both agree
    It's our little secret
    Just between you and me

    Just between you and me
    Just between you and me
    Just between you and me Writer/s: Jack Clement

  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn October 8, 1957, the Chordettes were guests on the Dick Clark ABC-TV weekday-afternoon program 'American Bandstand'*...
    At the time their "Just Between You and Me" was at #19 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, just over two weeks earlier on Sept. 15th it peaked at #8 {for 1 week} on Billboard's Most Played by Jockeys chart and it spent 15 weeks on the Top 100...
    Between 1954 and 1961 the Wisconsin quartet had thirteen records on the Top 100 chart, four made the Top 10 with one reaching #1, "Mr. Sandman", and on December 12th, 1954 it was at #1 {for 2 weeks} on Billboard's Best Sellers in Stores, Most Played by Jockeys, and Most Played on Jukesboxes charts...
    Besides "Mr. Sandman", their three other Top 10 records were "Born to Be With You" {#5 in 1956}, the above "Just Between You and Me", and "Lollipop" {#2 for 1 week in 1958}...
    The week "Lollipop" was at #2, the #1 record for that week was "Tequila" by the Champs...
    * Just the day before on October 7th the quartet appeared on 'America Bandstand Prime Time', the program was at 7:30 on Monday evenings, wasn't very popular and last for only 13 episodes.
