[VERSE 1]
[Ab]Casey is an old man who wants to be a teen
[Ab]He goes to all the dances and they call him cha-cha king
[Db]He cha-chas when the band is playin' rock and roll
He [Eb]trie[N.C.]s to keep in time but the beat leaves him cold.
[CHORUS]
[N.C.]Because he's [Ab]too pooped to pop, too old a soul
[Ab]Hips gettin' weaker when he tries to do the stroll
[Ab]And every time his feet get to go in one way
[Ab]Here comes a new dance and it's goin' to stray.
[VERSE 2]
[Db]Chicks told Casey, You better move man,
[Ab]This is only a one night stand
[Db]Casey wasn't in time but he was dancin' awhile
Till a c[Ab]ram[N.C.]p caught his leg and he had to change his style.
[CHORUS]
[N.C.]Because he's [Ab]too pooped to pop, too old a soul
[Ab]Hips gettin' weaker when he tries to do the stroll
[Ab]And every time his feet get to go in one way
[Ab]Here comes a new dance and it's goin' to stray.

[VERSE 3]
[Db]Casey finally learned to do the hoochie koo
[Ab]This might have been fine back in '22
Now, I'm [Db]gonna give you fellows just a little tip
If you [Eb]wann[N.C.]a keep your girl you'd better get hip
[Out-Chorus]
[N.C.]Or, you'll be [Ab]too pooped to pop, too old a soul
[Ab]You hips are gettin' weaker when you'll try to do the stroll
[Ab]And every time your feet gettin' to go in one way
[Ab]Here comes a new dance you'll be left to stray.
