What's wrong with sayin' yes sir, sayin' yes ma'am, a hard day's work

Showin' up pretty much on time

What's wrong with waitin' your turn, payin' your dues, keepin' your word

And lookin' a man right in the eye

You can wear your pants down around your knees

But that don't mean a dang to me.

Just put a little old back in the new school

Get that workin' man back on the bar stool

Just 'cause somethin's hip don't make it cool

Let's put a little old back in the new school.

I don't mind some attitude, a rebel heart, hell I got one too

But you still gotta walk the line

I don't care what you listen to, how you wear your hair you can paint it blue

Hey, it takes all kinds

Johnny rocked and willie rolled, they just did it with a whole lot more soul.

Just put a little old back in the new school

Get that workin' man back on the bar stool

Just 'cause somethin's hip don't make it cool

Let's put a little old back in the new school.

My grandpa just turned 83

I hope some of him rubbed off on me

He's still cooler than I'll ever be.

Just put a little old back in the new school

(Yeah) get that workin' man back on the bar stool

Just 'cause somethin's hip don't make it cool

Let's put a little old back in the new school.

Yeah I might be young but I ain't no fool

Come on, let's put a little old back in the new school yeah, new school

Put some old back in it.
