MIDDLE AGED ROCK AND ROLLER

I'm a middle aged Rock and Roller

I play music ’till the break of dawn

By day I am a quality controller

You should see me in my uniform

One night I played in Swansea and this girl came up to me

She was beautiful and sexy, and she said these words to me

“You can keep your silly love songs”

“And stuff your reggae and your soul”

“But I’ll give you my body”

“If you’ll play me some Rock and Roll”

I'm a middle aged Rock and Roller

I play music ’till the break of dawn

By day I am a quality controller

You should see me in my uniform

One night I played in London and this girl there caught my eye

I asked her if she’d marry me, and this was her reply

“You’re much too old for me”

“You’ve passed the prime of life”

“You’ve already got one foot in the grave”

“So get an old woman to be your wife”

I'm a middle aged Rock and Roller

I play music ’till the break of dawn

By day I am a quality controller

You should see me in my uniform

One night I played in Bristol and this girl came up to me

She was fat and she was ugly, and she said these words to me

“If you can guess how much I weigh”

“I’ll give you a love that’s true”

I said, “Five stone five”

She said, “Ok, that’s close enough, you’ll do”

I'm a middle aged Rock and Roller

I play music ’till the break of dawn

By day I am a quality controller

You should see me in my uniform

I work all day, I work all night

I rock and roll, 'till the morning light

I'm a middle aged Rock and Roller

I play music ’till the break of dawn

By day I am a quality controller

You should see me in my uniform

It's time to rock and roll
