What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?
          Bb                       F
Can't you tell that your tie's too wide?
C                       Em
Maybe I should buy some old tab collars?
        Bb                 F
Welcome back to the age of jive
Em                         Am
Where were you been hidin' out lately, honey?
    Em                               D              G
You can't dress this trashy till you spend a lot of money
      C           Em                Bb        F
Well, everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound funny,

What's the matter with the car I'm driving?

Can't you tell that it's out of style?
C                       Em
Should I get a set of white wall tires?
        Bb                     F
Are you gonna cruise a miracle mile?
    Em                     Am
But nowadays you can't be too sentimental
    Em                      D       G
Your best bet's a true baby-blue Continental
C           Em        Bb          F
Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk
     Am             G       C
It's still rock and roll to me

Oh, it doesn't matter what they say in the papers
            Em                       Am
'Cause it's always been the same old scene
          G                        F
There's a new band in town but you can't get the sound
       Em              G#
From a story in a magazine

Aimed at your average teen

How about a pair of pink sidewinders
      Bb                    F
And a bright orange pair of pants?
C                       Em
You could really be a Beau Brummel, baby
   Bb                       F
If you just give it half a chance
     Em                     Am
Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers
    Em                      D             G
You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers
C           Em        Bb           F
Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways

C                       Em
Should I try to be a straight-A student?
     Bb                       F
If you are then you think too much
  Em                     Am
Don't you know about the new fashion, honey?
    Em                       D           G
All you need are looks and a whole lotta money
         C           Em        Bb           F
It's the next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
