Still Love Rock n Roll

Way back in the 50’s – you never said a wrong word
People were clean – people were mean
Children should be seen, but children should be not heard
You learned to keep your mouth shut – you did what you were told
But then one day the radio played the sound that we’d all been waiting for
The whole of our lives ‘n’

I still love Rock ‘n’ Roll – I play it every day
Hummin’ along, singin’ the song
It’s the only way – I know how to say what’s on my mind

I get up in the morning – put the kettle on the stove
Tommy Steele croons a Guy Mitchell tune
I never felt more like singin’ the blues – but if I had to choose
You know I still love rock ‘n’ roll
I still love rock ‘n’ roll (let me hear ya)

I never been to Lubbock, Texas or Memphis, Tennessee
I never washed dishes in Macon, Georgia
I wasn’t half as good and I wasn’t half as pretty as you
But I still got the feelings – embedded in my soul
A rebel armada – Kettering, Granada
It ain’t my fault that I never grew up – I got bitten by your bug
And I still love rock ‘n’ roll, I still love rock ‘n’ roll, I still love rock

I know what you’re thinkin’ – it’s a little bit strange to you
I know what you’re thinkin’ – ‘cos I’m thinkin’ the same way too
But oh those two little four letter words – they’re all you need to know
‘cos when it all comes down to it – I don’t like the sound of it
When you mess around with it – I’m still in it for the thrill of it
I know you tried to kill it but

I still love rock ‘n’ roll – I play it every day
Hummin’ along – singin’ the songs
It’s the only way I know how to say what’s on my mind

I get up every morning – I put the coffee on the stove
The computer’s gone – the turntable’s on
I can’t believe it’s 2001 – God, I must be knockin’ on
But I still love rock ‘n’ roll, I still love rock ‘n’ roll
