Live 01 Dec 2011 version
[Spoken intro (Bob Seger):] Well now just because you've been all such good boys and girls, we got a little treat for you, a little Christmas treat, Mr. Bruce Springsteen! Bruce! I think you'll know this one, here we go.
| Bob Seger: | Just take those old records off the shelf |
| I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself | |
| Today's music ain't got the same soul | |
| I like that old time rock n' roll | |
| Bruce Springsteen: | Don't try to take me to a disco |
| You'll never even get me out on the floor | |
| In ten minutes I'll be late for the door | |
| I like that old time rock n' roll | |
| Bob Seger: | Here we go! |
| Seger and Springsteen: | That old time rock n' roll |
| That kind of music just soothes the soul | |
| I reminisce about the days of old | |
| With that old time rock n' roll | |
| Bob Seger: | Go boss! |
| Bruce Springsteen: | [Guitar solo] |
| Bob Seger: | Won't go to hear them play a tango |
| I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul | |
| There's only one sure way to get me to go | |
| Start playing old time rock n' roll | |
| Bob Seger: | Call me a relic, call me what you will |
| Seger and Springsteen: | Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill |
| Today's music ain't got the same soul | |
| I like that old time rock n' roll | |
| Bob Seger: | Here we go! |
| Seger and Springsteen: | That old time rock n' roll |
| Bob Seger: | Oh baby just soothes the soul |
| Seger and Springsteen: | I reminisce about the days of old |
| With that old time rock n' roll | |
| Bob Seger: | Alto! |
| Alto Reed: | [Saxophone solo] |
| Seger and Springsteen: | Old time rock n' roll |
| Oh baby just soothes the soul | |
| I reminisce about the days of old | |
| With that old time rock n' roll | |
| Bob Seger: | Let me see ya! |
| Bob Seger: | Old time |
| Crowd: | Rock n' roll |
| Bob Seger: | Oh yeah |
| Baby just | |
| Crowd: | Soothes the soul |
| Bob Seger: | I reminisce about |
| Crowd: | The days of old |

| Crowd: | Rock n' roll |
| Bob Seger: | You got it! |
| Seger and Springsteen: | Old time rock n' roll |
| Bob Seger: | Oh baby just soothes the soul |
| Seger and Springsteen: | I reminisce about the days of old |
| With that old time rock n' roll | |
