It's Still Rock And Roll To Me Songtext / Lyric

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 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
Or a bright orange pair of pants
Well, you could really be a Beau Brummel baby
If you only 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
