Golden Age of Rock ’n’ Roll Songtext
von Mott the Hoople

Ladies and gentlemen
The golden age of rock ′n' roll

Everybody hazy, shell-shocked and crazy
Screaming for the face at the window
Jeans for the genies, dresses for the dreamies
Fighting for a place in the front row

Ohh, ohh, ohh
(It′s good for your body, it's good for your soul)
Ohh, ohh, let's go
(It′s the golden age of rock ′n' roll)

Well, you getta little buzz, send for the fuzz
Guitars getting higher and higher
The dude in the paint thinks he′s gonna faint
Stoke more coke on the fire

Ohh, ohh, ohh
(You gotta stay young, you can never grow old)
Ohh, ohh, whoa
(It's the golden age of rock ′n' roll)


The golden age of rock ′n' roll will never die
As long as children feel the need to laugh and cry
Don't wanna smash, want a smash sensation
Don′t wanna wreck, just recreation
Don′t wanna fight, but if you turn us down
We're gonna turn you around, gonna mess with the sound

The show′s gotta move, everybody groove
There ain't no trouble on the streets now
So if the going gets rough, don′t you blame us
You ninety-six decibel freaks

Ohh, ohh, ohh
(It's good for body, it′s good for your soul)
Ohh, ohh, ohh
(It's the golden age of rock 'n′ roll)

Ohh, ohh, ohh
(You gotta stay young, you can never grow old)
Ohh, ohh, whoa
(It′s the golden age of rock 'n′ roll)

Ohh, ohh, ohh
(It's good for body, it′s good for your soul)
Ohh, ohh, ohh
(It's the golden age of rock ′n' roll)


Ohh, ohh, ohh
(You gotta stay young, you can never grow old)
Ohh, ohh, whoa
(It's the golden age of rock ′n′ roll)

Ohh, ohh, ohh
(It's good for body, it′s good for your soul)
Ohh, ohh, ohh
(It's the golden age of rock ′n' roll)

That′s all
