I remember '62 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 And Rock 'n' Roll was all we did And listening to those songs on the radio; I was yours and you were mine But 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 want to be... around us no more.
