Lyrics
In the U.S.A the teenager have the country in confusion
In the U.S.A the teenager have the country in confusion
Rock and rolling all of the time
Have the parents out of their mind
Parents liking Liberace
Kids is liking Elvis Presley
So they rock and rolling night and day
Bouncing up and down in the way they do
The parents shaking their head and say
What is this generation coming to?
All the parents say their children will grow up to be delinquents so
If the children only dance to the rock and roll and the calypso
Parents tell them they should only
Like the opera and symphony
But the young kids are too busy
Digging Mr. Belafonte
So they rock and rolling night and day
Bouncing up and down in the way they do
The parents shaking their head and say
What is this generation coming to?
When the kids is bouncing up to the jukebox like the monkeys and frogs
All the newspapers they say that the teenager's going to the dogs
But the kids don't go to the dogs
That's the truth and these are the facts
All the girls is changing to chicks
All the fellows changing to cats
So they rock and rolling night and day
Bouncing up and down in the way they do
The parents shaking their head and say
What is this generation coming to?
