I finally got a gal and she's a honey
She never wants to spend a whole lotta money
She says I got a chance
Yeah, If I learn to dance
There's gonna be a race
Yeah-yeah, even up the pace
A-making with a modern romance
A-making with a modern romance

A-big blue eyes and she's so nice
She never once to do the same step twice
She had me rock 'n' rollin'
Yeah, now she's got me strollin'
Oh man, what a race
Yeah-yeah, keepin' up the pace
A-making with a modern romance
A-making with a modern romance

Well, it almost seems like forty years ago
I wore out my shoes and learn to do the rock 'n' roll
Well, I thought I was a-flakin'
And then I learned the chicken
Man, what a race
Yeah-yeah, keepin' up the pace
A-making with a modern romance
A-making with a modern romance
