It's Still Rock and Roll to Me

Lyrics

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 'til 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 white 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?
 Well, you could really be a Beau Brummell 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
 Alright, Richo!
 ♪
 What's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing?
 Don't you know that they're out of touch?
 Well, 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
