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-a driving?
|
(Can't you tell that it's out of style?)
|
Should I get a set of white 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.
|
|
Well, it doesn't matter what they say in the papers
|
It's always been the same old scene.
|
(Oh oh oh oh oh) There's a new band in town
|
(Oh oh) You can't get the sound from a story in a magazine...
|
Aimed at your average teen
|
|
How about a pair of pink sidewinders, a bright orange pair of pants?
|
(Well you could really be a Beau Brummell 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 ‘n’ roll 2 me
|
All right, Rico!
|
|
Ooooooh ooh, 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!)
|
|
Wooooooo-hoo!
