You remember me
I used to have a nice Chinese restaurant
People used to come in and eat nice
Used to sell a egg roll
Used to sell a lobster roll
Then they put in a three-piece band
Play nice music
Play the foxtrot
Play the mambo
Now they don’t play
They play new
You see
No more egg loll
No more lobster loll
You see, lock and loll
Lock and loll
Everything lock and loll
Hey, stop the music
Stop the music
Boy, make me clazy
The lock and loll
Everybody come in here
Seventeen
Used to have a nice couples come in here
People thirty-five, thirty
Used to sit down, hold hands
Split a bowl of chop suey
Eat a little rice
Was so nice
Now the people come in here
All the same age
Asked a girl the other day
How old are you
She say, seventeen
I said, that’s nice
How old your friend
She said, seventeen
I said, how old your mother
She said, seventeen
Your father, seventeen
What’s the matter
Everybody seventeen
What happened to eighteen
What happened to nineeen
What happened to twenty
What happened to the other numbers
Stop the music
Oh, make me clazy
The lock and loll
Spoil my kinda customer
Used to have nice people come in
Dressed very crassy
Sometime wear the tuxedo
Girl wear the evening gowns
Wear the c***tail dress
Men come in with a nice sport jacket
Plaid, double-frap in the back
Sometime not too crassy
Only got a single-frap
Get big executive, Madison Avenue
Dressed with a charcoal gray suit
Got a charcoal gray shirt
Charcoal tie, charcoal shoes
Take a look on their hands
Sometimes charcoal hands
I say, Hey, executive
I think you better wash up
Before you eat
Now, evelybody come in
Got a rock and roll suit on
What’s that
That’s a dungaree suit
I say, why do you wear that dungaree for
Why do you wear that dungaree pants
Why do you wear that dungaree jacket
Why you got that dungaree face
What’s that for
Because I’m little dungalee doll
Dungalee doll, dungalee doll
Evelybody here a dungalee doll
You no dungalee doll
You dungalee jerk
You spoil my prace
I said, get outta here
No wanna lock and loll
No wanna dungalee doll
Stop that music
Oh, they make me clazy
Ellybody is a lock and loll
Ellybody is seventeen
Ellybody is a dungalee doll
No egg loll
No lock and roll
Plenty lock and loll
You got a six o’clock lock
You got seven o’clock loll
You got a eight o’clock lock
You got a nine o’clock loll
They never stop the lock
They never stop the loll
They lock alound the clock
And they loll alound the clock
And they lock and they loll
And they loll and they lock
Make me crazy
Don’t know what to hock
Getting crazy
The band keep praying
Don’t want to stop
I don’t care
‘Cause they playing my song
The whole night long
Close up the door
Don’t close the store
Stay here, all night
And sing that crazy
Rock and loll song
And now come the Chinese beat
