"This Ain't Rock And Roll" lyrics

Some came out of the songs they sang
Chopping up stones on the chain gang
The gospel wailing, as good as it gets
Ain't no faces, nothing but necks
Oh, they don't make 'em like that anymore

Some tied strings out of wooden crates
Some made do with a tea chest face
And some came running from plantation
There's a whole lot of magic on the end of their arms
And they don't make 'em like that anymore

This ain't rock and roll
I don't know what this is
But it sure ain't rock and roll

Some came traveling on the tide
Some wound up on Moses' side
And some came trickling up the Thames
And some turned into national anthems
They don't make 'em like that anymore

And some of them fresh off the factory floor
They didn't have nothing and they wanted more
They're coming all over, from north and south
And some came out of the horse's mouth
Well, they don't make 'em like that anymore, yeah

And oh, this ain't rock and roll
No, I don't like the look of this
'Cause this ain't rock and roll
Let me hear you, girl

But they don't make 'em like that anymore
But they were the keys that opened up the door, yeah

Well some flew out of the cuckoo's nest
And some flew out of the Filmore West
And some came out of Chicago
Ohio, Harlem, Apollo
And they don't make 'em like that anymore, yeah

No, this ain't rock and roll
You might of got the gist of it
I think you might have missed a bit
But this ain't rock and roll, turn me out now

But they don't make 'em like that
They don't make 'em like that
They don't make 'em like that anymore, ever
