[A]
[E] [A] [E]
[B] [E]
Ain't your memory kinda kind [A] to you each time [E] that you look back?
Helps remember all the better [F#] times, forget about the bad
[E] But I reckon that that's great, cause when I think about those days
All I remember is the [B] sheilas and the music [E] that we played
[A]
[E] You'd be lying to yourself [A] as you were lying [E] to your mates
About the route you never had and [F#] how you didn't masturbate
With [E] a stickbook near your pillar and a tranny by the bed
Could the rhythm of the music [B] nearly wank [E] yourself to death?
Rockin' rollin', rootin' round was all we ever knew
Ponytails and [F#] petticoats and blue [B] suede shoes
[E] Stockings and suspenders [A] and a buddy holly chew
[E] Rockin' rollin', rootin' [B] round was all we [E] ever knew
[A]
[E] [A] [E]
[B] [E]
Be nice to say I lost me cherry in the spring and it was love
But she was ugly, I was legless [F#] and I met her in her pub
[E] But that night I got me end away shaggin' in me ute
With the rhythm of the music [B] of a [E] rockabilly group
[A]
[E] Or you'd be sitting on the sofa with a sheila messin' bout
Tryin' to get into her knickers [F#] while her mum and dad were out
[E] Rootin' some poor bastard's daughter while you're drinkin' all his booze
Change the record cracker tinny to [B] the rhythm [E] of the route
Yeah, rockin' rollin', rootin' round was all we ever knew
Ponytails and [F#] petticoats and blue [B] suede shoes
[E] Remember stockings and suspenders [A] and a buddy holly chew
[E] Yeah, rockin' rollin', rootin' round [E] was all we ever knew
[A]
[E] [A]
[B] [E]
We could sit and reminisce like this about the good old days
Still lyin' bout the route you [F#] never had, that hasn't changed
But try [E] explainin' to your missus when the radio comes on
While you still crack the fuckin' stiffy when [B] you hear a [E] surfy song
Yeah, rockin' rollin', rootin' round was all we ever knew
Ponytails and petticoats and [B] blue suede [E] shoes
Remember stockings and suspenders and [A] a buddy holly chew
[B] Rootin' round [E] was all we ever knew
Yeah, rockin' rollin', rootin' round was all we ever knew
Ponytails and petticoats [B] and blue suede [E] shoes
Remember stockings and suspenders and [A] a buddy holly peggy sue
Yeah, rockin' [B] rollin', rootin' round [E] was all we ever knew
