I used to watch you with those young girls by your side
Telling you all the songs they did or didn't like
Rating the records was the part I liked the most
The only question was the planet of the host
On American Bandstand
You look just the same and
You're not growing older like everyone else and I'm wondering
You might be a spaceman
Mr. American Bandstand
Cause you're not growing older like everyone else and I'm wondering

You'd always smile and introduce the latest rage
Richard you've seen everybody walk across your stage
I think it's time somebody wrote a song for you
We really like you and my mother likes you too

On American Bandstand
You look just the same and
You're not growing older like everyone else and I'm wondering
You might be a spaceman
Mr. American Bandstand
Cause you're not growing older like everyone else and I'm wondering

Could it be that rock 'n' roll music made you stay so young
Those rock 'n' roll songs
Could it be that rock 'n' roll music
Could it be those rock 'n' roll songs on American Bandstand
