Welcome back to the age of jive.

Where have you been hidin'out lately, honey?
You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of money.

Whats the matter wiht the car Im driving.
"Cant't you tell that its out of style?"

'Cause its always been the same old scene.
Theres new band in town.
But you cant get the sound from a story in a magazine...

And a bright orange pair of paints?
"You could really be a Beau Brummel baby,
if you just give it half a chance.

Its still rock and roll to me.
Whats the matter with the crowd Im seeing?

"If you are then you think too much. Dont you
