Verse

We wore matador boots

Only Flagg Brothers had them with the Cuban heel

Iridescent socks with the same color shirt

And a tight pair of chinos

I put on my shark skin jacket

You know the kind with the velvet collar

And ditty-bop shades

I took a fresh pack of Luckies

And a mint called Sen-Sen

My old man's Trojans

And his Old Spice after shave

Combed my hair in a pompadour

Like the rest of the Romeos wore

Chorus

A permanent wave yeah

We were keeping the faith

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Keeping the faith

Verse

Learned stickball as a formal education

Lost a lot of fights nut it taught me how to lose O.K.

I heard about sex but not enough

I found you could dance and still look tough anyway

I found out a man ain't just being macho

Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food drank a lot of take-home pay

I thought I was the Duke of Earl when I made it with a red-haired girl

Chorus

In a Chevrolet

We were keeping the faith

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
