Circle left
What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?
Can't you tell that your tie's too wide?
Left allemande and weave that ring
Rockin' round to the step of this jive
Swing the girl, promenade your honey
You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of money
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the brand new sound
But it's still rock and roll to me

Heads (sides) rollaway, pass thru
Separate around 1 to a line
Pass thru, wheel & deal
Double pass thru, in time
Cloverleaf, centers California twirl
Flutter wheel, go get 'em girls
Promenade I say, around that way
Cause it's still rock and roll to me

Circle right
What's the matter with the car I'm driving?
Can't you tell that it's out of style?
Ladies lead as you promenade, go single file
Girls backtrack, find your own
Swing, promenade go home
Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk
It's still rock and roll to me

Circle left
What's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing?
Don't you know that they're way behind?
Left allemande and weave that ring
Roll it on down that line
Don't you know about the new fashion, honey?
All you need are looks and a whole lotta money
Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
It's still rock and roll to me
