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 'til 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 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

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?

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 and roll to me

Alright, Richo!

What's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing?

Don't you know that they're out of touch?

Well, 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
