[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey? You can't dress trashy 'til you spend a lot of money [Chorus] Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me [Verse 2] 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? [Pre-Chorus] Nowadays you can't be too sentimental Your best bet's a true baby blue Continental [Chorus] Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk It's still rock and roll to me [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers [Chorus] Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways It's still rock and roll to me Alright Richie! [Saxophone Solo] Woo! Ooh [Verse 4] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Don't you know about the new fashion, honey? All you need are looks and a whole lotta money [Chorus] 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
