glitter and gleam
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 hoola 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
