They said "you're not normal,
why don't you sing R''B?"
I said "I got no rhythm, and I got no blues,
I'm as happy as can be."
They say "how can you not bop to hip hop?"
I say "I most certainly do. Did you not see me dancing the other night,
like the girls on Channel U?"

Be like the girls in the video.
But for me, that's much too slow,
Because I prefer rock ' roll.

They say "why do you wear a shirt and tie?
That's a bit bizarre."
I said "I like to look good when I go on stage,
strumming my guitar."
I like to sing my songs about real life things,
like good times and romance.
And I prefer to do it in my skinny jeans,
And minuscule hot pants.
'Cause this baby got no back.
Yeah, I can wind down low,
Be like the girls in the videos.
But for me, that's much too slow,
Because I prefer rock ' roll.

Why can't people just let me be?
I'm only putting out what comes best to me.
Some people get their kicks from other things,
But I get mine from wood and strings.
Yeah, I can wind down low,
Be like the girls in the videos.
But for me, that's much too slow,
Because I prefer rock ' roll.
