Glitter and Gleam - Tommy Roe

What happened to the bop and the stroll

And the pony tail, and all the penny loafers

What happened to the Hollywood

That we used to know, when all the stars had chauffeurs

It’s all over but the glitter and gleam

In the good old rock 'n' roll

We can still hear a guitar scream

And a singer, sing with soul

What happened to the peppermint twist

And the mini skirts, crew cuts and flat tops

What happened to the hoola hoop

And some people I’ve known, who thought they were big shots

It’s all over but the glitter and gleam

In the good old rock 'n' roll

We can still hear a guitar scream

And a singer, sing with soul

What happened to the promises

That were never kept, where is the truth now

What happened to the record set

In home runs hit, by old babe ruth now

It’s all over but the glitter and gleam

In the good old rock 'n' roll

We can still hear a guitar scream

And a singer, sing with soul

It’s all over but the glitter and gleam

In the good old rock 'n' roll

We can still hear a guitar scream

And a singer, sing with soul
