[Sung by Johnny Thunder and Chorus]

[Verse 1]
See Johnny Thunder sitting on his motorbike
Riding along the highway
Rock and roll songs from the 1950's
Buzzing around in his brain
Well, Johnny Thunder, he's one of the original bebop generation
And he's got no time for complicated music or too much sophistication

[Chorus]
He's one of the survivors
The motorbike riders
You ought to see Johnny Thunder riding down the highway
He's one of the rock and roll survivors
Twelve bars flowing through his veins
He digs Jerry Lee Lewis, Dion and The Belmonts
And Johnny and The Hurricanes

[Verse 2]
He plays Hound Dog, Oh Boy, and Great Balls of Fire
And Boppin' At The High School Hop
And he's got no time for phonies or posers
'Cos they don't know how to reel and rock
And he plays Little Egypt and Ooh Poo Pah Doo
And he plays Poison Ivy and Blue Suede Shoes

[Chorus]
The Hollywood Argyles
Danny and The Juniors
Dion and The Belmonts, Johnny and The Hurricanes
He's one of the survivors
The boppers and the jivers
Yeah, and he rocks all day
Johnny and The Hurricanes, Johnny and The Hurricanes

[Bridge 1]
Got my freedom riding along on the freeway
I ride a hundred miles an hour but I don't mess up my D.A

[Interlude]
(Rock, rock, rock 'n' rock, rock 'n' rollin')
(Rock, rock, rock 'n' rock, rock 'n' rollin')
(Rock, rock 'n' rock, rock 'n' rollin') No, you can't stop rock 'n' rollin' music play
(Rock, rock 'n' rock, rock 'n' rollin')
(Rock, rock, rock 'n' rock, rock 'n' rollin') No, you can't stop rock 'n' rollin' music play
Woah, woah-woah

[Bridge 2]
Feel those vibrations flowing through my brain
Got my freedom riding down the highway
Keeps me sane, feel alive
I'm one of the survivors

[Interlude]
Oh, feel all right
First gear, second gear, third gear, fourth gear, all right

[Verse 3]
Old Johnny Thunder looks a little overweight
And his sideburns are turning grey
But he still likes to bebop, boogie and jive
To his worn out seventy-eights

[Interlude]
Johnny Thunder
Hey, he's alright

[Chorus]
He's one of the survivors
Twelve bars flowing through his brain
Jerry Lee Lewis, Dion and The Belmonts
Johnny and The Hurricanes, Johnny and The Hurricanes
