Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ladies and gentleman, The Golden Age of Rock 'N' Roll
[Verse 2]
Everybody hazy, shell-shocked and crazy
Screamin' for the face at the window
Jeans for the genies, dresses for the dreamies
Fightin' for a place in the front row
[Verse 3]
Oh, oh, oh
(It's good for your body, it's good for your soul)
Oh, oh, let's go
(It's the golden age of rock 'n' roll)
[Verse 4]
Well, you get a little buzz, send for the fuzz
Guitars gettin' higher and higher
The dude in the pain thinks he's gonna faint
Stoke more coke on the fire
[Verse 5]
Oh, oh, oh
(You gotta stay young, you can never grow old)
Oh, oh, woah
(It's the golden age of rock 'n' roll)
[Verse 6]
The golden age of rock 'n' roll will never die
As long as children feel the need to laugh and cry
Don't wanna smash, wanna smash sensation
Don't wanna wreck, just recreation
Don't wanna fight, but if you turn us down
We're gonna turn you around, gonna mess with the sound
[Verse 7]
The show's gotta move, everybody groove
There ain't no trouble on the streets now
So if the goin' get's rough, don't you blame us
You ninety-six decibel freaks, oh
[Verse 8]
Oh, oh, oh
(It's good for your body, it's good for your soul)
Oh, oh, yeah
(It's the golden age of rock 'n' roll)
[Verse 9]
Oh, oh, oh
(You gotta stay young, you can never grow old)
(It's the golden age of rock 'n' roll)
Oh, oh, oh
(It's good for your body, it's good for your soul)
(The golden age of rock 'n' roll)
Oh, oh, oh
(You gotta stay young, you can never grow old)
(The golden age of rock 'n' roll)
Oh, oh, oh
(It's good for your body, it's good for your soul)
(It's the golden age of rock 'n' roll)
[Verse 10]
That's all
