| [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 |
