Mobil, previously known as the Socony-Vacuum Oil Company, was a major American oil company which merged with Exxon in 1999 to form ExxonMobil. Today Mobil continues as a major brand name within the combined company, as well as still being a gas station sometimes paired with their own store or On the Run. Its former headquarters in Fairfax County, Virginia, are currently used as ExxonMobil's downstream headquarters.
Following the break-up of Standard Oil in 1911, the Standard Oil Company of New York, or Socony, was founded, along with 33 other successor companies. In 1920, the company registered the name "Mobiloil" as a trademark.
Henry Clay Folger was head of the company until 1923, when he was succeeded by Herbert L. Pratt. Beginning February 29, 1928 on NBC, Socony Oil reached radio listeners with a comedy program, Soconyland Sketches, scripted by William Ford Manley and featuring Arthur Allen and Parker Fennelly as rural New Englanders. Socony continued to sponsor the show when it moved to CBS in 1934. In 1935, it became the Socony Sketchbook, with Christopher Morley and the Johnny Green orchestra.
Come on over
Let me watch you
Let me hold you
Let me touch you
Right or wrong
I should have stayed up 'till the break of dawn
Ever since our eyes did meet
I long to see
Your eyes
Surprised me like a moon on a cowboy movie screen
I never found out what it means!
I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on
I'll waste my life [on you]
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on
I'll waste my life on you!
Come on over
Let me watch you
Let me hold you
Let me touch you
I'm right, you're wrong
You should have come to me before too long
You'll never leave my sight again
To keep you then
Your eyes
Deny me like the sun on a night sky movie scene
And I just don't care what it means!
I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on
I'll waste my life [on you]
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on
I'll waste my life on you!
And I hate to be the one
The one to drop you the bomb
You wouldn't wait around
But I'll be watchin' you
Woooooo you!
Woooooo you! YEAH you
Woooooo you!
Woooooo you! YEAH you
Woooooo
Woooooo
I'll watch your every move
You can't know we can't hurt
You got no choice I got you!
I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on
I'll waste my life [on you]
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on
I'll waste my life on you!
I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on
I'll waste my life on you!
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on!
I'll waste my life
I'll waste my life
