[Intro]
Ab Gb Eb

[Verse 1]
AbCasey is an old man who wants to be a teen
AbHe goes to all the dances and they call him cha-cha king
DbHe cha-chas when the band is playin' rock and roll
He EbtrieN.C.s to keep in time but the beat leaves him cold.
[Chorus]
N.C.Because he's Abtoo pooped to pop, too old a soul
AbHips gettin' weaker when he tries to do the stroll
AbAnd every time his feet get to go in one way
AbHere comes a new dance and it's goin' to stray.
[Verse 2]
DbChicks told Casey, You better move man,
AbThis is only a one night stand
DbCasey wasn't in time but he was dancin' awhile
Till a cAbramN.C.p caught his leg and he had to change his style.
[Chorus]
N.C.Because he's Abtoo pooped to pop, too old a soul
AbHips gettin' weaker when he tries to do the stroll
AbAnd every time his feet get to go in one way
AbHere comes a new dance and it's goin' to stray.
[Sax Solo]
Ab Eb Ab Eb Ab
Ab Db Gb N.C. Eb N.C.
[Chorus]
N.C.Because he's Abtoo pooped to pop, too old a soul
AbHips gettin' weaker when he tries to do the stroll
AbAnd every time his feet get to go in one way
AbHere comes a new dance and it's goin' to stray.
[Verse 3]
DbCasey finally learned to do the hoochie koo
AbThis might have been fine back in '22
Now, I'm Dbgonna give you fellows just a little tip
If you EbwannN.C.a keep your girl you'd better get hip
[Out-Chorus]
N.C.Or, you'll be Abtoo pooped to pop, too old a soul
AbYou hips are gettin' weaker when you'll try to do the stroll
AbAnd every time your feet gettin' to go in one way
AbHere comes a new dance you'll be left to stray.
