John Edmond - Rock 'n Roll Rhodie Lyrics

Back in the old days I remember well
Rock 'n Roll sessions at Motopos hotel
Had a duck tail haircut and blue suede shoes
When the army got me it was G.I blues
Chocadera Cafe through the way of city hall
And dancing at a place we called the Whore's Ball
Every time I gave my little baby a hug
She said Its not the Whore's Ball its the Sunshine club

My way baby all I got left
Is a pair of old Vellies and my army vest
Even though the golden days are gone
I'm still a Rock 'n Roll Rhodie with my Vellies on

My buddy had the looks and the money too
But how to get the girls he never really knew
He had a Morris Minor with the supersonic radio
It was the finest thing around since the white tar road
But my Triumph Tiger 100 super motor bike
Was thing that all the hip hippie girls all liked
I took them on the pillion riding to the night
Before they even knew it they were holding me tight

My way baby all I got left
Is a pair of old Vellies and my army vest
Even though the golden days are gone
I'm still a Rock 'n Roll Rhodie with my Vellies on

When they play the music from the good old days
The scenes that you see never cease to amaze
Young kids dancing to the tunes we knew
Buddy Holly, Elvis, and The Beatles too
It's really such a shame that they'll never ever know
What it was like living long long ago
Life is laid back and the days are rot
So turn up the music and turn back the clock

My way baby all I got left
Is a pair of old Vellies and my army vest
Even though the golden days are gone
I'm still a Rock 'n Roll Rhodie with my Vellies on

My way baby all I got left
Is a pair of old Vellies and my army vest
Even though the golden days are gone
I'm still a Rock 'n Roll Rhodie with my Vellies on
