It all started 1963 Santa brought me monopoly Two g.i. joes and some hot wheel cars Grandma and pa got me an electric guitar My cousin billy was a geeky zit face Santa surprised him with a beatle bass My neighbor mikey, that dork was my chum The lucky bugger got a new set of drums We formed a band and called it the collage Dad moved the car so we could use the garage
Chorus: And we were rockin' Yes we were rockin' In beatle wigs we looked nifty and keen 'cause we were rockin'
Our senior year 1968 The scene was groovy, we thought we were great We played the prom in bellbottoms and beads Songs by jimi hendrix, the stones and cream In the seventies we made a lotta dough And i'm proud to say we didn't play disco
Chorus: 'cause we were rockin', yes we were rockin' We played the clubs, the receptions and bars 'cause we were rockin'
Bridge: Well i get up in the morning And i fix myself a cup of coffee Dump, shower, shave Then another cup of coffee I jump into the truck And i'm on my way to work I stop at joe's greasy spoon And i have just one more Cup of coffee I tell joe i gotta go I think i'm running late Don't want nothing to Go wrong today 'cause tonight i gotta date
I just can't stop it I've got to rock it If she can shake it Then we can make it And if i break it I'll just duct tape it
My forty sixth birthday 1996 Our band reunited just for kicks We hit da open mic at hickey's bar They called us old farts, but we felt like rock stars With beer guts straining and receding hair lines We played those same old songs we'd played ten million times
Chorus: And we're still rockin' Yes we're still rockin' I'll move da car so we can use da garage And we're still rockin'
'cause we're still rockin' Yes we're still rockin' This aint karaoke So get out of our way 'cause we're still rockin'
