They said "you're not normal, 
 Why don't you sing R&B?"
 I say "I've got no rhythm and I got no blues, 
 I'm as happy as can be"
 They said "how can you not
 Bop to hip hop?"
 I said "I most certainly do, 
 Did you not see me dancing the other night
 Like the girls on Channel U?"

 Yeah
 I can wind down low
 Be like the girls in the videos
 But for me that's much too slow
 Because I prefer rock and roll
 I say, yeah
 I can wind down low
 Dance like the girls in the videos
 But for me that's a no-no
 'Cause I prefer rock and roll

 They say "why d'ya wear a shirt and tie? 
 Now that's a bit bizarre"
 I said I like to look good when I go on stage
 [bad word] my guitar
 I like to sing my songs about real life things
 Like good times and romance
 And I prefer to do it in my skinny jeans
 Than miniscule hot pants
 ('cause this baby got no back)

 Yeah
 I can wind down low
 Be like the girls in the videos
 But for me that's much too slow
 Because I prefer rock and roll
 I say, yeah
 I can wind down low
 Dance like the girls in the videos
 But for me that's a no-no
 'Cause I prefer rock and roll

 Why can't people just let me be? 
 I'm only putting out [bad word] best to me
 Some people get their kicks from other things
 But I get mine from wood and strings

 Yeah
 I can wind down low
 Be like the girls in the videos
 But for me that's much too slow
 Because I prefer rock and roll
 I say, yeah
 I can wind down low
 Dance like the girls in the videos
 But for me that's a no-no
 'Cause I prefer rock and roll

 Yeah
 I can wind down low
 Be like the girls in the videos
 But for me that's much too slow
 Because I prefer rock and roll
 I say, yeah
 I can wind down low
 Dance like the girls in the videos
 But for me that's a no-no
 'Cause I prefer rock and roll
