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 hiding out lately,
honey?
You can't dress trashy
till you spend a lot of money.
Everybody's talking about
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 whitewall tires?
Are you gonna cruise the
Miracle Mile?
Nowadays you can't be
too sentimental
You're messing next
to 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 plan in town,
but you can't get the sound
from a story in a magazine
Ain't that your average teen?
How about a pair of pink sidewinders
and a bright orange pair of pants?
Well you could really be a bold rumble 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 great,
anyway, still rock an d roll to me
Alright, here we go!
Oh, what's the matter
with the crowd I'm seeing
Don't you know that they're out of touch
Should've tried 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 lot of money
It's the next phase,
new wave, dance craze
Anyway, it's still rock and
roll to me
Everybody's talkin' bout
the new sound, honey
But it's still rock and roll to me
Oh
