What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?
|
"Can't you tell that your tie's too wide?"
|
Maybe I should buy some old tab collars?
|
"Welcome back to the age of jive.
|
Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey?
|
You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of money."
|
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound
|
Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me
|
What's the matter with the car I'm driving?
|
"Can't you tell that it's out of style?"
|
Should I get a set of while wall tires?
|
"Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile?
|
Nowadays you can't be too sentimental
|
Your best bet's a true baby blue Continental."
|
Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk
|
It's still rock and roll to me
|
|
Oh, it doesn't matter what they say in the papers
|
'Cause it's always been the same old scene.
|
There's a new band in town
|
But you can't get the sound from a story in a magazine...
|
Aimed at your average teen
|
|
How about a pair of pink sidewinders
|
And a bright orange pair of pants?
|
"You could really be a Beau Brummel baby
|
If you just give it half a chance.
|
Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers,
|
You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers."
|
Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
|
It's still rock and roll to me
|
|
What's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing?
|
"Don't you know that they're out of touch?"
|
Should I try to be a straight `A' student?
|
"If you are then you think too much.
|
Don't you know about the new fashion honey?
|
All you need are looks and a whole lotta money."
|
It's the next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
|
It's still rock and roll to me
|
|
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound
|
Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me
