Lyrics Billy Joel – It’s Still Rock And Roll To Me
Text:
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
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
And a bright orange pair of pants?
«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
What’s the matter with the crowd I’m seeing?
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
