[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
Eb N.C.
He tries to keep in time but the beat leaves him cold.
[Chorus]
N.C. Ab
Because he's 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
Ab N.C.
Till a cramp caught his leg and he had to change his style.
[Chorus]
N.C. Ab
Because he's 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.

[Chorus]

Because he's 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
Db
Now, I'm gonna give you fellows just a little tip
Eb N.C.
If you wanna keep your girl you'd better get hip
[Out-Chorus]
N.C. Ab
Or, you'll be 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.
Ab
