What Did They Do Before Rock 'N' Roll? 歌詞
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
