This Ain't Rock And Roll

Some came out of the songs they sang
Chopping up stones on the chain gang
Gospel wailing as good as it gets
There ain't no faces, nothing but necks
And they don't make 'em like that anymore
And some tied strings on wooden crates
Some made do with a cheap chassis base
And some came running from plantations
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 Merseyside
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
They don't, this ain't rock and roll
No, I don't like the look of this
'Cause this ain't rock and roll

Well, they don't make 'em like that anymore
Well, 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 Fillmore 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 have got the gist of it
I think you might have listened
But this ain't rock and roll, turn me up

They don't make 'em like that
They don't make 'em like that
They don't make 'em like that anymore
