Lyrics
A man dressed in a suit and tie.Hes driving along at 55
Turns off the radio annoyed to him rock music is just noise
With his windshield wiper keepin time.Hes thinking back to 49'
He remembers songs heard in the past.To him these songs will always last
He goes Be bo be bo be bo bop..yeah
Life is surely what its not.no
Be Bo be bo be bo bop..yeah
Memories are all hes got
A black man in an old saloon listens to his favorite tune
He taps his feet with his own style across his face there beams a smile
He takes a sip of his glass of scotch and then he turns and says turn it upa notch
He starts to shuffle on the floor and says you don't hear this anymore
Yeah he goes be bo be bo be bo bop...yeah
Life is surely what its not..no
Be bo be bo be bo bop..yeah
Memories is all hes got
What a generation whats happened to this nation
What happened to the old days what is it with this rock craze
Be bobe bo be bo bop -chorus
What a generation what happened to this nation
What happened to the old days
Be bo be bo be bobop-chorus
Some people just keep with their ways
Theres nothing like the good old days
They listen to those simple songs
When people use to sing along
New musics got them in the dark
Whatever happened to Dick Clark
Its rock and roll and slick fast cars
Its bashing crashin loud guitars
Be bo be bo be bo bop
Life is surely what its not
Be bo be bo be bo bop
Memories are they got
A juke box use to cost a dime to hear the Inks Spots and The Tymes
Now its 50 cents a song to hear a group thats called King Kong
To some we're all living in sin
Some think Chuck Berry did us in
The world is changing ,changing fast
But some still hold on to the past
They go be bo be bo be bo bop-chorus
Hold it Boys! The landloards complaining we're too loud!
