  • So you're a little bit older and a lot less bolder
    Than you used to be
    So you used to shake 'em down
    But now you stop and think about your dignity
    So now sweet sixteens turned thirty-one
    You get to feelin' weary when the work days done
    Well all you got to do is get up and into your kicks
    If you're in a fix
    Come back baby
    Rock and roll never forgets

    You better get yourself a partner
    Go down to the concert or the local bar
    Check the local newspapers
    Chances are you won't have to go too far
    Yeah the rafters will be ringing cause the beat's so strong
    The crowd will be swaying and singing along
    And all you got to do is get in into the mix
    If you need a fix
    Come back baby
    Rock and roll never forgets

    Oh the bands still playing it loud and lean
    Listen to the guitar player making it scream
    All you got to do is just make that scene tonight
    Hehe tonight, woo

    Well now sweet sixteens turned thirty-one
    Feel a little tired feeling under the gun
    Well all Chuck's children are out there playing his licks
    Get into your kicks
    Come back baby
    Rock and Roll never forgets
    Said you can come back baby
    Rock and Roll never forgets
    Oh, come back baby, rock and roll never forgets
    Ooh, oh yeah, oh yeah
    Ha, ah huh, ah huh, never fogets
    Oh no, oh no, oh, never forgets, ha yeah
    Ooh, ooh no
    No
    Never forgets, yeah
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Ah yeah
    Ooh
    Aw
    Never never forgets, ah no, ah no Writer/s: BOB SEGER

  • Jennifer from La Crescenta , ArThis song reminds me of H.S. graduation in 1977. I've danced to this song at many happy occasions and it's in my ipod. The most recent was at my daughters wedding reception on the dance floor with my sisters who are in their 50's. It's like we've stepped into the fountain of youth!
  • Lalah from Wasilla, AkC-c-c-come back baby; rock and roll never forgets. When I was a kid I wondered why rock and roll wasn't going to forgive and what had been done to it.
  • Mike from Brooklyn, NyMy dad also loves this song. "Chuck's Children" refers to Chuck Berry. All the current rockers were out there playin his licks.
  • Stefanie Magura from Rock Hill, ScNo one's commented yet? i'm suprised! Anywa great song! My dad and I often go out and listen to music, so this definitely applies to him. I'm not going to give his age away, but he was a teenager when the Beatles were popular.
