Whats wrong with saying yes sir, saying yes maam
A hard days work
Showing up pretty much on time

Whats wrong with waiting your turn
Paying your dues
Keeping your word

Looking a man right in the eye
You wear your pants down around your knees
But that dont mean a thing to me

Just put a little old back in the new school
Get that working man back on the bar stool
Just cause somethings hip

Dont make it cool
Lets put a little old back in the new school
I dont mind some attitude

A rebel heart
Hell, I got one too
But you still gotta walk the line

I dont care what you listen too
How you wear hair
You can paint blue

Hey it takes all kinds
Johnny rocked and Willie rolled
They just did with a lot more soul

Just put a little old back in the new school
Get that working man back on the bar stool
Just cause somethings hip

Dont make it cool
Lets put a little old back in the new school
My Grandpa just turned 83

I hope some of him rubbed off on me
Hes still cooler than Ill ever be
Just put a little old back in the new school

Get that working man back on the bar stool
Just cause somethings hip
Dont make it cool

Lets put a little old back in the new school
Yeah I might be young
But I aint no fool

Lets put a little old back in the new school
The new school
