I was born the year 1940, oh, that seems so long ago State fair and river bank fishing was our favorite place to go Moved to California when I was 14 years old I heard some rock n roll music and, man, I lost control I'm old I'm proud I like my rock n roll loud I'm old I'm proud I like my rock n roll loud I'm old I'm proud I like my rock n roll loud I'm old I'm proud I like my rock n roll loud But that was so many moons ago that I wrote this sing along song So I'm asking the whole wide world to come on and sing along This is all you have got to say and you can sing this every day This song is here for you and me, rock n roll will set you free I'm old I'm proud I like my rock n roll loud I'm old I'm proud I like my rock n roll loud I'm old I'm proud I like my rock n roll loud I'm old I'm proud I like my rock n roll loud Yeah I'm old I'm proud I like my rock n roll loud I'm old I'm proud I like my rock n roll loud I'm old I'm proud I like my rock n roll loud I'm old I'm proud I like my rock n roll loud I'm old I'm proud I like my rock n roll loud I'm old I'm proud I like my rock n roll loud
