Rock 'n' Roll Kids

I remember sixty-two I was sixteen and so were you And we lived next door on the avenue

Jerry Lee was big and Elvis too Blue jeans and blue suede shoes And we never knew what life held in store We just wanted to rock 'n' roll forever more

We were the rock 'n' roll kids Rock 'n' roll was all we did And listenin' to those songs on the radio I was yours and you were mine That was once upon a time Now we never seem to rock 'n' roll anymore

Now Johnny's in love with the girl next door And Mary's down at the record store They don't wanna be around us no more

Golden oldies, but we hardly speak Too busy running to a different beat Hard to understand we were once like them How I wish we could find those rock 'n' roll days again

We were the rock 'n' roll kids Rock 'n' roll was all we did And listenin' to those songs on the radio I was yours and you were mine That was once upon a time Now we never seem to rock 'n' roll anymore

I was yours and you were mine That was once upon a time Now we never seem to rock 'n' roll We just never ѕeem to rock 'n' roll аnymore
