| Growing up it take a lotta time
|
| First you learn the music then you learn the rhyme
|
| Melody is what you need when you’re down
|
| Harmony the world goes 'round and 'round
|
| Radio said rock 'n' roll is dead
|
| To my room I panicked and fled
|
| It wrecked my mind and filled me with fright
|
| Elvis, Chuck 'n' Jerry got me through the long, long night
|
| Gotta pull on my jeans and my dancing shoes
|
| I’m going out and sing some rhythm 'n' blues
|
| Rock 'n' roll is the name of the game
|
| And when it takes me over things ain’t the same
|
| Lotsa times we played for free
|
| We had a taste we had a need
|
| Twelve bar blues in four bar time
|
| Beautiful words that just fell in rhyme
|
| Radio said rock 'n' roll is dead
|
| They’re going insane they must be out of their head
|
| Radio said rock 'n' roll is dead
|
| But I don’t care what the radio said
|
| You will hear the banshee sing
|
| The day you lose that shuffle 'n' swing
|
| You will hear the death bell toll
|
| The day you lose that rock 'n' roll
|
| Radio said rock 'n' roll is dead
|
| To my room I panicked and fled
|
| It wrecked my mind and filled me with fright
|
| Elvis, Chuck 'n' Jerry got me through the long, long night
|
| Radio said rock 'n' roll is dead
|
| They’re going insane they must be out of their head
|
| Radio said rock 'n' roll is dead
|
| But I don’t care, he don’t care, what the radio said |
