Jenny said when she was just five years old You know there’s nothing happening at all Every time she puts on the radio There was nothing goin’ down at all Then one fine mornin’ she puts on a New York station She couldn’t believe what she heard at all She started dancin’ to that fine fine music You know her life was saved by Rock ‘n’ Roll Despite all the amputations You could just dance to a rock ‘n’ roll station ---

When I was young I’d listen to the radio Waitin’ for my favorite songs When they played I’d sing along It made me smile. Those were such happy times And not so long ago How I wondered where they’d gone But they’re back again Just like a long lost friend All the songs I loved so well. Every Sha-la-la-la Every Wo-o-wo-o Still shines Every shing-a-ling-a-ling That they’re startin’ to sing’s So fine. ---
