Lyrics
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.
Lyrics translation
I was never one of the school lights.
But Einstein couldn't do my trick.
I knew more about music
than about English school grammar.
For Ringo, George, John and Paul
could play rock'n'roll.
My first English words
I wrote on the teacher's table.
For, oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.
Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.
It was new style.
Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin' is allright.
No one really wanted to
cut off his hair.
On every tough guy
filled her hair years.
For, oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.
Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.
It was new style.
Yeah rockin' 'n' reelin' is allright.
An electric guitar was the dream of gold for me.
I had the chance on every girl.
With a guitar in my hand
I could be in a band.
We play at a youth center
could only three chords.
Who asked more of us
as long as everyone dance of course.
For, oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.
Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.
It was new style.
Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin' is allright.
I wrote big letters
my jackas back.
The one who had pop fever
thought it was nice.
For, oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.
Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.
It was new style.
Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin' is allright.
Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.
Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.
It was new style.
Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin' is allright.
Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.
Oh yeah rockin' 'n' reelin'.
It was new style.
Oh yeah rockin '' n 'reelin', rockin '' n 'reelin'
Rockin' 'n' reelin' is allright.
