OLD TIME ROCK & ROLL

Live 01 Dec 2011 version



[Spoken intro (Bob Seger):] Well now just because you've been all such good boys and girls, we got a little treat for you, a little Christmas treat, Mr. Bruce Springsteen! Bruce! I think you'll know this one, here we go.

Bob Seger:Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock n' roll

Bruce Springsteen:Don't try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock n' roll
Bob Seger:Here we go!

Seger and Springsteen:That old time rock n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock n' roll
Bob Seger:Go boss!

Bruce Springsteen:[Guitar solo]

Bob Seger:Won't go to hear them play a tango
I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There's only one sure way to get me to go
Start playing old time rock n' roll

Bob Seger:Call me a relic, call me what you will
Seger and Springsteen:Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock n' roll
Bob Seger:Here we go!

Seger and Springsteen:That old time rock n' roll
Bob Seger:Oh baby just soothes the soul
Seger and Springsteen:I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock n' roll
Bob Seger:Alto!

Alto Reed:[Saxophone solo]

Seger and Springsteen:Old time rock n' roll
Oh baby just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock n' roll
Bob Seger:Let me see ya!

Bob Seger:Old time
Crowd:Rock n' roll
Bob Seger:Oh yeah
Baby just
Crowd:Soothes the soul
Bob Seger:I reminisce about
Crowd:The days of old
Bob Seger:With that old time
Crowd:Rock n' roll
Bob Seger:You got it!

Seger and Springsteen:Old time rock n' roll
Bob Seger:Oh baby just soothes the soul
Seger and Springsteen:I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock n' roll
Bob Seger:Go! Come on buddy!
