Had to make do with a worn out rock 'n' roll scene

The old bop is getting tired need a rest

Well you know what I mean

Fifty-eight that was great

But it's over now and that's all

Something harder's coming up

Gonna really knock a hole in the wall

Gonna hit ya grab you hard

Make you feel ten-feet tall

Well I hope that a big new baby's gonna come along soon

You don't know it could happen any ol' rainy afternoon

With the temperature down

And the jukebox blowing no fuse

And my musical life's feeling

Like a long Sunday School cruise

And you know that there's one thing

Every single body could use

Yeah, listen to me baby

Let me tell you what it's all about

Modern-times rock 'n' roll

Modern-times rock 'n' roll

Get your high-heeled guitar-style boots and some groovy clothes

Get a hair piece on your chest

And a ring through your nose

Find a nice little man who says

He's gonna make you a real big star

Stars in your eyes and ants in your pants

Think you should go far

Everybody in this bum sucking world

Just gonna know who you are

Look out

Modern-times rock 'n' roll
