I got the jiggles in my knees
When I saw her coming down the road
And with a tingle in my nerves
I just stood there in my tracks and froze
I said "Where you been all my life"?
She replies with a yawn
"For most of it honey, I wasn't even born
You're just an old rock 'n' roller
Born way ahead of you time"
Yes, I'm just an old rock 'n' roller
Born way ahead of my time
I made a play for her again
When I saw her at the local hop
I thought she's bound to fall for me
When I teach her how to do the bop
I took her into my arms
As soon as I had the chance
But then she screamed
"Please don't touch anymore when they dance
You're just an old rock 'n' roller
Born way ahead of you're time"
Yes, I'm just an old rock 'n' roller
Born way ahead of my time
Well, I guess I'd had enough
'Cause I decided it was time to go
When another beautiful girl came up to me
And said "I'd like to know
If you're the same guy I knew in '64
Why don't you come back to my place
'Cause I wanna be sure
If you're that old rock 'n' roller
Born way ahead of your time".
I said "That's me
I'm just an old rock 'n' roller
Born way ahead of my time"
'Cause remember Jerry Lee
And Little Miss Dynamite too singin'
"I couldn't love you anymore than I do"
"I'm just an old rock 'n' roller
Born way ahead of my time.
Yes, I'm just an old rock 'n' roller
Born way ahead of my time
I guess it's true
I'm just an old rock 'n' roller
Born way ahead of my time"
