[00:00.00]Downtown, my darling dimestore thief
[00:17.28]In the war of independence
[00:19.96]Rock an' Roll rang sweet as victory
[00:23.50]Under neon signs a girl was in bloom
[00:29.21]And a woman was fading in a suburban room
[00:35.41]I said, take me to the dance
[00:37.58]Do you want to dance? I love to dance
[00:41.08]And I told him, they don't take chances
[00:43.46]They seem so removed from romance
[00:47.55]They've been broken in churches and schools
[00:50.30]And molded to middle class circumstance
[00:52.99]And we were rolling, rolling, Rock 'n' Rolling
[01:04.14]Downtown the dance halls and cafes
[01:08.91]Feel so wild you could break somebody's heart
[01:12.00]Just doing the latest dance craze
[01:15.85]Gail and Louise in those push-up brassieres
[01:20.99]Tight dresses and rhinestone rings
[01:24.22]Drinking up the band's beers
[01:26.75]Young love was kissing under bridges
[01:28.99]Kissing in cars, kissing in cafes
[01:32.75]And we were walking down main street
[01:35.00]Kisses like bright flags hung on holidays
[01:39.69]In France they kiss on main street
[01:41.41]Amour, mama, not cheap display
[01:45.34]And we were rolling, rolling, Rock 'n' Rolling
[02:06.26]Downtown in the Pinball Arcade
[02:10.89]With his head full of pool hall pitches
[02:14.12]And songs from the hit parade
[02:16.91]He'd be singing bye, bye, love
[02:19.92]While he's racking up his free play
[02:22.89]Let those Rock 'n' Roll choir boys come and carry us away
[02:29.19]Sometimes Chickie had the car or Ron had a car
[02:32.08]Or lead foot Melvin with his hot-wire head
[02:34.95]We'd all go looking for a party
[02:37.13]Looking to raise Jesus up from the dead
[02:40.75]And I'd be kissing in the back seat
[02:42.98]Thrilling to the Brando-like things that he said
[02:46.59]And we'd be rolling, rolling, Rock n' Rolling
[02:57.58]Rolling, rolling, Rock n' Rolling
[03:07.99]Rolling, rolling, Rock n' Rolling
