What`s the matter with the clothes I`m wearing?
"Can`t you tell that your tie`s 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 can`t dress trashy till you spend a lot of money."
Everybody`s talkin` `bout the new sound
Funny, but it`s still rock and roll to me
What`s the matter with the car I`m driving?
"Can`t you tell that it`s out of style?"
Should I get a set of while wall tires?
"Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile?
Nowadays you can`t be too sentimental
Your best bet`s a true baby blue Continental."
Hot funk, cool punk, even if it`s old junk
It`s still rock and roll to me
Oh, it doesn`t matter what they say in the papers
`Cause it`s always been the same old scene.
There`s a new band in town
But you can`t 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.
Don`t 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
It`s still rock and roll to me
What`s the matter with the crowd I`m seeing?
"Don`t you know that they`re out of touch?"
Should I try to be a straight `A` student?
"If you are then you think too much.
Don`t you know about the new fashion honey?
All you need are looks and a whole lotta money."
It`s the next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
It`s still rock and roll to me
Everybody`s talkin` `bout the new sound
Funny, but it`s still rock and roll to me
