[00:12.76] |
Downtown |
[00:13.95] |
My darling dime store thief |
[00:17.76] |
In the War of Independence |
[00:20.16] |
Rock 'n' roll rang sweet as victory |
[00:23.90] |
Under neon signs |
[00:26.90] |
A girl was in bloom |
[00:29.56] |
And a woman was fading |
[00:32.49] |
In a suburban room |
[00:35.96] |
I said take me to the dance |
[00:37.92] |
Do you want to dance? |
[00:39.42] |
I love to dance |
[00:41.62] |
And I told him They don't take chances |
[00:43.93] |
They seem so removed from romance |
[00:48.19] |
They've been broken in churches and schools |
[00:50.88] |
And molded to middle class circumstance |
[00:53.63] |
And we were rolling rolling rock 'n' rolling |
[01:04.73] |
Downtown |
[01:06.08] |
The dance halls and cafes |
[01:09.65] |
Feel so wild you could break somebody's heart |
[01:12.45] |
Just doing the latest dance craze |
[01:16.69] |
Gail and Louise |
[01:18.63] |
In those push-up brassieres |
[01:21.44] |
Tight dresses and rhinestone rings |
[01:24.51] |
Drinking up the band's beers |
[01:27.51] |
Young love was kissing under bridges |
[01:29.72] |
Kissing in cars kissing in cafes |
[01:33.46] |
And we were walking down Main Street |
[01:35.86] |
Kisses like bright flags hung on holidays |
[01:40.28] |
In France they kiss on Main Street |
[01:41.73] |
Amour, mama, not cheap display |
[01:45.49] |
And we were rolling, rolling, rock 'n' rolling |
[02:06.55] |
Downtown |
[02:08.74] |
In the pinball arcade |
[02:11.69] |
With his head full of pool hall pitches |
[02:14.74] |
And songs from the hit parade |
[02:17.70] |
He'd be singing "Bye Bye Love" |
[02:20.65] |
While he's racking up his free play |
[02:23.45] |
Let those rock 'n' roll choir boys |
[02:26.20] |
Come and carry us away |
[02:29.61] |
Sometimes Chickie had the car |
[02:31.31] |
Or Ron had a car |
[02:32.46] |
Or Lead Foot Melvin with his hot-wire head |
[02:35.32] |
We'd all go looking for a party |
[02:36.27] |
Looking to raise Jesus up from the dead |
[02:41.10] |
And I'd be kissing in the back seat |
[02:43.30] |
Thrilling to the Brando-like things that he said |
[02:46.95] |
And we'd be rolling rolling rock 'n' rolling |
