It's Still Rock and Roll to Me
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 soundFunny, 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 white wall tires?"Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile?Nowadays you can't be too sentimentalYour best bet's a true baby blue Continental."Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junkIt'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 townBut you can't get the sound from a story in a magazineAimed at your average teen
How about a pair of pink sidewindersAnd a bright orange pair of pants?"You could really be a Beau Brummell babyIf 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, anywaysIt'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, anywaysIt's still rock and roll to me
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new soundFunny, but it's still rock and roll to me
