Rock 'n' Roll Kids

Paul Harrington & Charlie Mcgettigan

I remember '62

I was 16 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



CHORUS:

We were the rock 'n' roll kids

Rock 'n' roll was all we did

And listening to those songs on the radio

I was yours and you were mine

That was once upon a time

Now we never seem to rock 'n' roll anymore



Now Jonny's in love with the girl next door

And Mary's down at the record store

They don't wanna be around us no more

Golden oldies but we hardly speak

Too busy running to a different beat

Hard to understand we were once like that

How I wish we could find those

Rock 'n' Roll days again..



CHORUS



I was yours and you were mine

That was once upon a time

Now we never seem to Rock 'n' Roll

We just never seem to Rock 'n' Roll anymore
