Long Before Rock'n'Roll

She said I like just lying on the bed
beneath the ceiling with her head upon my pillow
there’s nothing else I rather do
and I said I rather do it on the couch
or in the kitchen where about
you seems so down child
like nothing could destroy your world
but I never ever wanted to
you would never ever let me to
I would but you must wait until it gets dark
So what is it that you want me to
I can make it if it’s good for you
so play me some from 1954
before rock n roll
Well later she came
with flowers in her arms
said we can do it in the car
my brother owns it
the driver seat is made for us
I said I’d rather grab a bite to eat
there is a diner down the street
lets take it easy
and join this lovely harmony
But I never ever wanted to…..
