I could really get off being in your shoes 
I used to be stone sold on rhythm and blues 
A heard of a place at the back of town 
Where you really kick the shit when the sun goes down 
 
I really got buzzed when your sister said 
"Throw away them records `cause the blues is dead 
Let me take you honey where the scene's on fire" 
And tonight I learned for certain that the blues expired 
 
Oh your sister can't twist but she can rock and roll 
Out bucks the broncos in the rodeo-do 
She's only sixteen but it's plain to see 
She can pull the wool over little old me 
Your sister can't twist but she can rock and roll 
Your sister can't twist but she got more soul than me 
 
Somebody help me `cause the bug bit me 
Now I'm in heaven with the aching feet 
But I'll be back tonight where the music plays 
And your sister rocks all my blues away 
 
I really got buzzed when your sister said 
"Throw away them records `cause the blues is dead 
Let me take you honey where the scene's on fire" 
And tonight I learned for certain that the blues expired
