Way back in the 50's - you never said a wrong word
|
People were clean - people were mean
|
Children should be seen, but children should be not heard
|
You learned to keep your mouth shut - you did what you were told
|
But then one day the radio played the sound that we'd all been waiting for
|
The whole of our lives 'n'
|
|
I still love Rock 'n' Roll - I play it every day
|
Hummin' along, singin' the song
|
It's the only way - I know how to say what's on my mind
|
|
I get up in the morning - put the kettle on the stove
|
Tommy Steele croons a Guy Mitchell tune
|
I never felt more like singin' the blues - but if I had to choose
|
You know I still love rock 'n' roll
|
I still love rock 'n' roll (let me hear ya)
|
|
I never been to Lubbock, Texas or Memphis, Tennessee
|
I never washed dishes in Macon, Georgia
|
I wasn't half as good and I wasn't half as pretty as you
|
But I still got the feelings - embedded in my soul
|
A rebel armada - Kettering, Granada
|
It ain't my fault that I never grew up - I got bitten by your bug
|
And I still love rock 'n' roll, I still love rock 'n' roll, I still love rock
|
|
I know what you're thinkin' - it's a little bit strange to you
|
I know what you're thinkin' - 'cos I'm thinkin' the same way too
|
But oh those two little four letter words - they're all you need to know
|
'cos when it all comes down to it - I don't like the sound of it
|
When you mess around with it - I'm still in it for the thrill of it
|
I know you tried to kill it but
|
|
I still love rock 'n' roll - I play it every day
|
Hummin' along - singin' the songs
|
It's the only way I know how to say what's on my mind
|
|
I get up every morning - I put the coffee on the stove
|
The computer's gone - the turntable's on
|
I can't believe it's 2001 - God, I must be knockin' on
|
But I still love rock 'n' roll, I still love rock 'n' roll,
|

Still Love Rock n Roll
