It's Still Rock And Roll To Me Lyrics

Song Text:

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
