lyrics

MRS. JONES

she drives a 55' merc like right off the showroom floor, she wears a long
ponytail, saddle shoes and I'll tell you more
in 55' she was sweet fourteen, now she's over forty, still live in a dream
mrs. jones you got the rock and roll devil to pay

it's always burgers and fries, milkshakes ordered to go all her furniture is
vinyl, she dresses like marilyn monroe her walls are all covered with
pictures of her 59' prom, "you belong to me" is still her favorite song
mrs. jones you got, the rock and roll devil to pay

she's locked in the fifties, digs it the most, she's hard to believe, like seeing
a ghost she sold that devil her heart and soul, now she lives to rock and she
loves to roll

she still does the bop, the twist, the bird and the fly she's never heard of michael
jackson and swears elvis never died she stacks up eight old singles on her
blown out dyna tone, hears a wop bop a loo bop and man she's gone
mrs. jones you got the rock and roll devil to pay
