Its 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 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
