Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music, any old way you choose it |
|
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it, any old time you use it |
|
It's gotta be rock and roll music if you wanna dance with me |
|
If you wanna dance with me. |
|
I've got no kick against modern jazz unless they try to play it too darn fast |
|
And lose the beauty of the melody until they sound just like a symphony. |
|
That's why I got for that rock and roll music, any old way you choose it |
|
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it, any old time you use it |
|
It's gotta be rock and roll music if you wanna dance with me |
|
If you wanna dance with me. |
|
I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks, so she can hear my man await a sax |
|
I must admit they have a rockin' band, man they were goin' like a hurricane. |
|
That's why I got for that rock and roll music, any old way you choose it |
|
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it, any old time you use it |
|
It's gotta be rock and roll music if you wanna dance with me |
|
If you wanna dance with me. |
|
Way down South they have a jubilee, the jockey folks they had a jamboree |
|
They're drinking homebrew from a watercup, the folks are dancin', got all shook up. |
|
And started playin' that rock and roll music, any old time you use it |
|
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it, any old time you use it |
|
It's gotta be rock and roll music if you wanna dance with me |
|
If you wanna dance with me. |
|
Don't care to hear them play a tango, I'm in the mood to take a mambo |
|
It's way too early for the congo, so keep a-rockin' that piano. |
|
That's why I got for that rock and roll music, any old way you use it |
|
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it, any old time you use it |
|
It's gotta be rock and roll music if you wanna dance with me |
|
If you wanna dance with me. |
