What happened to the bop and the stroll, And the pony tail, and all the penny loafers What happened to the Hollywood, That we used to know, when all the stars had chauffeurs It's all over but the glitter and gleam, In the good old rock 'n' roll We can still hear a guitar scream And a singer sing with soul What happened to the peppermint twist And the mini skirts, crew cuts and flat tops What happened to the Hula hoop And some people I've known, who thought they were big shots It's all over but the glitter and gleam, In the good old rock 'n' roll We can still hear a guitar scream And a singer sing with soul What happened to the promises That were never kept, where is the truth now What happened to the record set In home runs hit, by old babe ruth now It's all over but the glitter and gleam, In the good old rock 'n' roll We can still hear a guitar scream And a singer sing with soul It's all over but the glitter and gleam, In the good old rock 'n' roll We can still hear a guitar scream And a singer sing with soul We can still hear a guitar scream And a singer sing with soul Writers; Tommy Roe
