She said I like just lying on the bed

Beneath the ceiling with her head upon my pillow

There’s nothing as I’d rather do

And I said I’d rather do it on the couch

Or in the kitchen where about

You seem so down child

Like nothing could destroy your world



But I never ever wanted to

You never ever let me to

I would but you must wait ‘til it gets dark

So what is it that you want me to

I can’t make it even good for you

So play me some from 1954

before rock ‘n’ roll

Yeah, before rock ‘n’ roll

before rock ‘n’ roll



Well later she came with flowers in her arms

And we can do it in the car my brother owns it

The driversseat is made for us

And I said I’d rather grab a bite to eat

There is a diner down the street

Let’s take it easy

And join this lovely harmony



But I never ever wanted to

You never ever let me to

I would but you must wait ‘til it gets dark

So what is it that you want me to

I can’t make it into good for you

So play me some from 1954

before rock ‘n’ roll

Yeah, before rock ‘n’ roll

before rock ‘n’ roll

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

before rock ‘n’ roll (6x)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

before rock ’n’ roll

Long before rock ’n’ roll

before rock ’n’ roll (3x)
