“Now look-here, pay attention when I’m talkin’ to ya! Just go ahead and…I say, just go ahead and pluck them old records off the shelf. I’ll sit right here and listen to ’em my own self, if you catch my drift. Now, don’t get me wrong, but today’s music…now look…it just ain’t got the same soul. I’m talkin’ ’bout that old time rock and roll!
And don’t you even think about tryin’ to drag me to some disco. I tell ya, you’ll never even get me out on the dance floor! In ten minutes, I’ll be ten minutes late for the door! I’m a man of taste, son, and my taste is that old time rock and roll. I say, still like that old time rock and roll! It just soothes the soul, you see? I’m reminiscin’, pay attention, reminiscin’ ’bout the days of old with that old time rock and roll!
Now, listen to me, I ain’t goin’ nowhere to hear ’em play some tango. That’s just nonsense! I’d much rather hear some blues or some of that funky old soul. There’s only one sure way…one way!…to get me to move, and that’s to start playin’ that old time rock and roll!
You can call me a relic, you can call me what you will…I don’t care! Say I’m old-fashioned, say I’m over the hill…you’re just talkin’ to the wind! Today’s music just ain’t got the same soul, and I’m talkin’ ’bout that old time rock and roll!
Still like it! I say, still like that old time rock and roll! It soothes the soul, it does! I’m reminiscin’ ’bout the days of old with that old time rock and roll! I said it once, and I’ll say it again…pay attention!…that old time rock and roll! Hey! Still like it! Still like that old time rock and roll!”
