What happened to the bop and the stroll
And the pony tail, and all the penny loafers
What happened to the Hollywood
That we used to know, when all the stars had chauffeurs
It's all over but the glitter and gleam
In the good old rock 'n' roll
We can still hear a guitar scream
And a singer, sing with soul
What happened to the peppermint twist
And the mini skirts, crew cuts and flat tops
What happened to the hoola hoop
And some people I've known, who thought they were big shots
It's all over but the glitter and gleam
In the good old rock 'n' roll
We can still hear a guitar scream
And a singer, sing with soul
What happened to the promises
That were never kept, where is the truth now
What happened to the record set
In home runs hit, by old babe ruth now
It's all over but the glitter and gleam
In the good old rock 'n' roll
We can still hear a guitar scream
And a singer, sing with soul
It's all over but the glitter and gleam
In the good old rock 'n' roll
We can still hear a guitar scream
And a singer, sing with soul
