ITS still rock and roll Tom E (12 gardens live)

Its Still Rock And Roll To Me

Whats the matter with the clothes Im wearing?
'Cant you tell that your ties too wide?'
Maybe I should buy some old tab collars?
'Welcome back to the age of jive.
Where have you been hidin out lately, honey?
You cant dress trashy till you spend a lot of money.'
Everybodys talkin bout the new sound
Funny, but its still rock and roll to me
Whats the matter with the car Im driving?
'Cant you tell that its out of style?'
Should I get a set of while wall tires?
'Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile?
Nowadays you cant be too sentimental
Your best bets a true baby blue Continental.'
Hot funk, cool punk, even if its old junk
Its still rock and roll to me
Oh, it doesnt matter what they say in the papers
Cause its always been the same old scene.
Theres a new band in town
But you cant get the sound from a story in a magazine...
Aimed at your average teen
How about a pair of pink sidewinders
And a bright orange pair of pants?
'You could really be a Beau Brummel baby
If you just give it half a chance.
Dont waste your money on a new set of speakers,
You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers.'
Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
Its still rock and roll to me

Whats the matter with the crowd Im seeing?
'Dont you know that theyre out of touch?'
Should I try to be a straight `A student?
'If you are then you think too much.
Dont you know about the new fashion honey?
All you need are looks and a whole lotta money.'
Its the next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
Its still rock and roll to me
Everybodys talkin bout the new sound
Funny, but its still rock and roll to me
