(Intro)

I got a new suit, kind of Italian Style
It's got low cut collar, kind of carved behind
Stitched in waist and it's real tight in the butt -- yeah that's right
You better watch out baby, see me strut my stuff!

Yeah, come on!

(Harmonica solo)

Yeah, my shirt's made in England, and my shoes in Rome
You know I'm coming and smell my cologne
You ga' keep up baby, keep up with the times!
You better watch out, you'll be left lagging far behind

Aww yeah baby, keep up! Keep up with it!

(Guitar solo)

I got a new apartment, the views sublime
Sit on the sofa and let's buy some time
The roof is leaking, oh the rent is high
I got to keep up baby, keep up with the times

Aww, you gotta keep up now!

(Guitar solo)

Ahh, I got a new actress, she ain't been in much
Except for filling a cocktail bar, but
She says she got a break, she got a starring part -- in a movie
If I don't watch out, I'll be pushing a shopping cart -- that'll be me


You gotta keep up baby, keep up baby, keep up with the times -- yeah that's right!
Keep up with the times
And if you don't watch out, you'll be left back and far behind


Well I said it!

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
