Take Me Back To The Fifties

TAKE ME BACK TO THE FIFTIES

(Neil Wilde/Tony Burton)

Chorus: Take me back to the fifties

The golden age of rock and roll

I can't dig the stuff they're playing today

I need something with a little soul

Take me back to the fifties

So i can do the twist and walk the stroll

I like to be-bop-a-lula with my blue suede shoes

Shake it to the summertime blues

1. I used to dig the Beatles and the Rolling Stones

The music they made was just great

But all that rap and punk

Well it's a whole lotta junk

They ought to throw them out of the state

I like a rockin' guitar, a little 12 to the bar

A lyric I can understand

A little country don't hurt

But if you want the real dirt

There ain't nothing like a rock 'n' roll band

(Chorus - 'I like to be-bop-a-lula with my Peggy Sue')

(Solo/Chorus)

2. There ain't nothin' on the radio but Top 40 hits

What happened to the rock 'n' roll stars?

Parties and dancing

Teenage romancing

Songs about drinking and cars

I like to tap my feet to that crazy beat

Something for the good ol' boys

Well it's Saturday night

And if you don't wanna fight

You better turn off that doggone noise

(Chorus)
