What's wrong with saying 'yes sir', saying 'yes ma'am', a hard day's work
Showing up pretty much on time
What's wrong with waiting your turn, paying your dues, keeping your word
And looking a man right in the eye

You can wear your pants down around your knees
But that don't mean a dang to me

Just put a little old back in the new school
Get that working man back on the bar stool
Just 'cause something's hip don't make it cool
Let's put a little old back in the new school

I don't mind some attitude, a rebel heart, hell, I got one too
But you still gotta walk the line
I don't care what you listen to, how you wear your hair you can paint it blue
Hey, it takes all kinds

Johnny rocked and Willie rolled
They just did it with a whole lot more soul

Just put a little old back in the new school
Get that working man back on the bar stool
Just 'cause something's hip don't make it cool
Let's put a little old back in the new school

My grandpa just turned 83
I hope some of him rubbed off on me
He's still cooler than I'll ever be

Just put a little old back in the new school
Yeah, get that working man back on the bar stool
Just 'cause something's hip don't make it cool
Let's put a little old back in the new school

Yeah, I might be young but I ain't no fool
Come on, let's put a little old back in the new school 
Yeah, new school
Put some old back in it
