Lyrics

[00:08.19] What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?
[00:11.00] "Can't you tell that your tie's too wide? "
[00:14.81] Maybe I should buy some old tab collars?
[00:17.31] "Welcome back to the age of jive.
[00:21.69] Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey?
[00:24.43] You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of money."
[00:28.00] Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound
[00:30.93] Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me
[00:37.00] What's the matter with the car I'm driving?
[00:39.58] "Can't you tell that it's out of style? "
[00:43.82] Should I get a set of white wall tires?
[00:46.51] "Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile?
[00:50.70] Nowadays you can't be too sentimental
[00:53.51] Your best bet's a true baby blue Continental."
[00:57.01] Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk
[01:00.33] It's still rock and roll to me
[01:04.71] Oh, it doesn't matter what they say in the papers
[01:08.47] 'Cause it's always been the same old scene.
[01:11.96] There's a new band in town
[01:13.72] But you can't get the sound from a story in a magazine...
[01:19.03] Aimed at your average teen
[01:24.54] How about a pair of pink sidewinders
[01:27.04] And a bright orange pair of pants?
[01:31.11] "You could really be a Beau Brummel baby
[01:33.86] If you just give it half a chance.
[01:37.98] Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers,
[01:40.86] You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers."
[01:44.42] Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
[01:47.67] It's still rock and roll to me
[01:56.23] What's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing?
[02:16.11] "Don't you know that they're out of touch? "
[02:20.36] Should I try to be a straight 'A' student?
[02:22.73] "If you are then you think too much.
[02:26.81] Don't you know about the new fashion honey?
[02:29.44] All you need are looks and a whole lotta money."
[02:32.88] It's the next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
[02:36.26] It's still rock and roll to me
[02:39.89] Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound
[02:42.39] Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me
