Rockin' 'n' Reelin - Ted Gärdestad

Jag var aldrig nån av skolans ljus.

Men Einstein kunde inte mina bus.

Jag visste mer om musik

än om engelsk skolgrammatik.

För Ringo, George, John och Paul

kunde spela rock 'n' roll.

Mina första engelska ord

skrev jag på lärarens bord.

För oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.

Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.

Det var nya stilen.

Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin' is allright.

Ingen riktigt skapt ville

klippa av sitt hår.

På varenda tuff kille

fyllde håret år.

För oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.

Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.

Det var nya stilen.

Yeah rockin' 'n' reelin' is allright.

En elgitarr var dröm av guld för mig.

Jag hade chansen på varenda tjej.

Med en gitarr i min hand

kunde jag va med i ett band.

Vi spela på en ungdomsgård

kunde bara tre ackord.

Vem begärde mer av oss

så länge alla dansa förstås.

För oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.

Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.

Det var nya stilen.

Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin' is allright.

Jag skrev stora bokstäver

på min jackas rygg.

Den som hade popfeber

tyckte den var snygg.

För oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.

Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.

Det var nya stilen.

Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin' is allright.

Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.

Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.

Det var nya stilen.

Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin' is allright.

Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.

Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.

Det var nya stilen.

Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin', rockin' 'n' reelin'

Rockin' 'n' reelin' is allright.

I was never one of the lights of school.

But Einstein did not know my mischief.

I knew more about music

than on English school grammar.

For Ringo, George, John and Paul

could play rock 'n' roll.

My first English words

I wrote on the teacher's desk.

For oh yeah rockin '' n 'reelin'.

Oh yeah rockin '' n 'reelin'.

It was the new style.

Oh yeah rockin '' n 'reelin' is allright.

No one really created wanted

cut off his hair.

On every tough guy

turned hair years.

For oh yeah rockin '' n 'reelin'.

Oh yeah rockin '' n 'reelin'.

It was the new style.

Yeah rockin '' n 'reelin' is allright.

An electric guitar was a dream of gold for me.

I had the chance at every single girl.

With a guitar in my hand

could I join a band.

We play at a youth center

could only three chords.

Who asked for more from us

as long as everyone dances of course.

For oh yeah rockin '' n 'reelin'.

Oh yeah rockin '' n 'reelin'.

It was the new style.

Oh yeah rockin '' n 'reelin' is allright.

I wrote capital letters

on the back of my jacket.

The one who had pop fever

thought it was nice.

For oh yeah rockin '' n 'reelin'.

Oh yeah rockin '' n 'reelin'.

It was the new style.

Oh yeah rockin '' n 'reelin' is allright.

Oh yeah rockin '' n 'reelin'.

Oh yeah rockin '' n 'reelin'.

It was the new style.

Oh yeah rockin '' n 'reelin' is allright.

Oh yeah rockin '' n 'reelin'.

Oh yeah rockin '' n 'reelin'.

It was the new style.

Oh yeah rockin '' n 'reelin', rockin '' n 'reelin'

Rockin '' n 'reelin' is allright.
