What Did They Do Before Rock and Roll |
Say, Dad |
(Mmm, yes kids) |
We’d like to have a heart-to-heart talk |
(Oh-oh, have you spoken to your mother yet?) |
No, Dad, we wanna ask you |
(Well, I guess you’re both old enough) |
What we wanna know is |
What did they do before rock 'n' roll? |
(ah-ha) |
How’d they ever make it |
Bless my soul |
All day long they had to listen to (ah-ha) |
(My time is your time) |
What did they do before Elvis Pee (ah-ha) |
Fabian and Avalon and Brenda Lee? |
All they heard on the radio was |
(May the blue of the light, make the buh-buh-buh-boom) |
I found some ancient records (ah-doo-wah) |
From nineteen-forty-five (ah-doo-wah) |
I put a couple on the phonograph (laughed) |
Laughed ha-ha-ha-ha ha-ha |
Oh well, I thought I’d die |
Now, let me tell you, Dad |
It was an awful sound |
To hear what twenty-seven cats |
Were puttin' down |
I couldn’t believe my ears |
It was a shock to me |
'Cause all that they were playin' |
Was the melody |
They had a thing called swing |
They didn’t have no beat |
That rikki-tikki music never move my feet |
And then I played your records |
Strangest thing I heard |
I know you’ll think I’m goofy |
But I’m pretty swerve |
They didn’t twang guitars |
I meant like it was sad |
And tell me |
What’s a Hugo Winterhalter, Dad? |
Oh well, I felt so poor |
For those old time souls (ah-ha) |
They never had the benefit |
Of rock 'n' roll |
All they heard on the radio was (ah-ha) |
(Doo-fal-dee-ooh, boop-boop-pee-doo, ooh) |
Oh, no! |
