[Verse 1: Roger Taylor]
Had to make do
With a worn out rock 'n' roll scene
The old bop is getting tired, need a rest
Well you know what I mean
'58, that was great
But it's over now and that's all
Somethin' harder's coming up
Gonna really knock a hole in the wall
Gonna hit ya, grab ya hard
Make you feel ten feet tall

[Verse 2: Roger Taylor]
Well I hope that big new baby's
Gonna come along soon
You don't know
It could happen any ol' rainy afternoon
With the temperature down
And the jukebox blowin' no fuse
And my musical life's feelin' like
A long Sunday School cruise
And you know that there's one thing
Every single body could use

[Pre-Chorus: Roger Taylor]
Yeah, listen little baby
Let me tell you what it's all about
[Chorus: Roger Taylor]
(Modern times) Rock 'n' roll
(Modern times) Rock 'n' roll

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3: Roger Taylor, John Anthony]
Get your high heel guitar-style boots
And some groovy clothes
Get a hair piece on your chest
And a ring through your nose
Find a nice little man who says
He's gonna make you a real big star
Stars in your eyes and ants in your pants
Think you should go far
Everybody in this bum-sucking world's
Gonna know who you are
Look out

[Chorus: Roger Taylor]
(Modern times) Rock 'n' roll
