Lyrics

[00:07.58] What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?
[00:10.37] Can't you tell that your tie's too wide?
[00:14.49] Maybe I should buy some old tab collars?
[00:17.11] Welcome back to the age of jive
[00:21.30] Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey?
[00:24.12] You can't dress trashy 'til you spend a lot of money
[00:27.79] Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound
[00:30.56] Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me
[00:36.72] What's the matter with the car I'm driving?
[00:39.23] Can't you tell that it's out of style?
[00:43.45] Should I get a set of white wall tires?
[00:46.00] Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile?
[00:50.41] Nowadays, you can't be too sentimental
[00:53.14] Your best bet's a true baby blue continental
[00:56.70] Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk
[01:00.04] It's still rock and roll to me
[01:04.22] Oh, it doesn't matter what they say in the papers
[01:08.27] 'Cause it's always been the same old scene
[01:11.51] There's a new band in town
[01:13.23] But, you can't get the sound from a story in a magazine
[01:18.72] Aimed at your average teen
[01:24.33] How about a pair of pink sidewinders
[01:26.91] And a bright orange pair of pants?
[01:31.04] Well, you could really be a Beau Brummell baby
[01:33.78] If you just give it half a chance
[01:37.50] Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers
[01:40.78] You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers
[01:44.08] Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
[01:47.45] It's still rock and roll to me
[01:50.64] Alright, Richo!
[01:52.46] 
[02:13.29] What's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing?
[02:15.94] Don't you know that they're out of touch?
[02:19.81] Well, should I try to be a straight 'A' student?
[02:22.49] If you are, then you think too much
[02:26.35] Don't you know about the new fashion, honey?
[02:29.13] All you need are looks and a whole lotta money
[02:32.42] It's the next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
[02:35.94] It's still rock and roll to me
[02:39.48] Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound
[02:42.14] Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me
[02:45.18]
