Well she was just sixteen an hour ago Well the times were bad and she'd get scared She'd calm my fears and dry my tears With a rock & roll lullaby
And she'd sing sha la la la la la la la la la She'd be singing like that You'd better hold on tight

And she'd sing sha la la la la la la la la la It's gonna be alright it's gonna be alright now Sha la la la la la la la la la You'd better hold on tight Sha la la la la la la la la la Nothing soothes my soul like the sound of a good old
