Downtown, my darling dimestore thief |
| [00:17.28] |
In the war of independence |
| [00:19.96] |
Rock an' Roll rang sweet as victory |
| [00:23.50] |
Under neon signs a girl was in bloom |
| [00:29.21] |
And a woman was fading in a suburban room |
| [00:35.41] |
I said, take me to the dance |
| [00:37.58] |
Do you want to dance? I love to dance |
| [00:41.08] |
And I told him, they don't take chances |
| [00:43.46] |
They seem so removed from romance |
| [00:47.55] |
They've been broken in churches and schools |
| [00:50.30] |
And molded to middle class circumstance |
| [00:52.99] |
And we were rolling, rolling, Rock 'n' Rolling |
| [01:04.14] |
Downtown the dance halls and cafes |
| [01:08.91] |
Feel so wild you could break somebody's heart |
| [01:12.00] |
Just doing the latest dance craze |
| [01:15.85] |
Gail and Louise in those push-up brassieres |
| [01:20.99] |
Tight dresses and rhinestone rings |
| [01:24.22] |
Drinking up the band's beers |
| [01:26.75] |
Young love was kissing under bridges |
| [01:28.99] |
Kissing in cars, kissing in cafes |
| [01:32.75] |
And we were walking down main street |
| [01:35.00] |
Kisses like bright flags hung on holidays |
| [01:39.69] |
In France they kiss on main street |
| [01:41.41] |
Amour, mama, not cheap display |
| [01:45.34] |
And we were rolling, rolling, Rock 'n' Rolling |
| [02:06.26] |
Downtown in the Pinball Arcade |
| [02:10.89] |
With his head full of pool hall pitches |
| [02:14.12] |
And songs from the hit parade |
| [02:16.91] |
He'd be singing bye, bye, love |
| [02:19.92] |
While he's racking up his free play |
| [02:22.89] |
Let those Rock 'n' Roll choir boys come and carry us away |
| [02:29.19] |
Sometimes Chickie had the car or Ron had a car |
| [02:32.08] |
Or lead foot Melvin with his hot-wire head |
| [02:34.95] |
We'd all go looking for a party |
| [02:37.13] |
Looking to raise Jesus up from the dead |
| [02:40.75] |
And I'd be kissing in the back seat |
| [02:42.98] |
Thrilling to the Brando-like things that he said |
| [02:46.59] |
And we'd be rolling, rolling, Rock n' Rolling |
| [02:57.58] |
Rolling, rolling, Rock n' Rolling |
| [03:07.99] |
Rolling, rolling, Rock n' Rolling |
