Billy Joel – Josephine lyrics

What´s the matter with the clothes I´m wearing?
"Cant`t you tell that your tie`s too wide?
Maybe I should buy some old tab collars?
Welcome back to the age of jive.
Where have you been hidin`out lately, honey?
You can`t dress trashy till you spend a lot of money.
Everybody´s talkin``bout the new soundFunny, but it´s still rock and roll to me.
What´s the matter wiht the car I´m driving.
"Cant`t you tell that it´s out of style?"
Should i get a set of white wall tires?
"Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile?
Nowadays you can`t be too sentimental
You best bet´s a true baby blue
Continental."
Hot funk, cool punk, even if it´s old junk.
It´s still rock and roll to me.
Oh, it doesn´t matter what they say in the papers
`Cause it´s always been the same old scene.
There´s new band in town.
But you can´t get the sound from a story in a magazine...
Aimed at your average teen.
How about a pair of pink sidewinders
And a bright orange pair of paints?
"You could really be a Beau Brummel baby,
if you just give it half a chance.
Don´t waste your money on a new set of speakers,
you get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers."
Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways.
It´s still rock and roll to me.
What´s the matter with the crowd I´m seeing?
"Don´t you know that they´re out of touch?"
Should I try to be a straight ´A´student?
"If you are then you think too much. Don´t you
know about the new fashion honey? All you needare looks and a whole lotta money."
It´s the next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
It´s still rock and roll to me.
Everybody´s talkin´ ´bout the new sound
Funny, but it´s still rock and roll to me.
