Just take those old records off the shelf 
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself 
Today's music aln 't got the same soul 
I like that old time rock 'n' roll 
Don't try to take me to a disco 
You'll never even get me out on the floor 
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door 
I like that old time rock'n' roll 

Still like that old time rock'n' roll 
That kind of music just soothes the soul 
I reminisce about the days of old 
With that old time rock 'n' roll 
Won't go to hear them play a tango 
I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul 
There's only sure way to get me to go 
Start playing old time rock 'n' roll 
Call me a relic, call me what you will 
Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill 
Today' music ain't got the same soul 
I like that old time rock 'n' roll 

Still like that old time rock'n' roll 
That kind of music just soothes the soul 
I reminisce about the days of old 
With that old time rock 'n' roll
