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
Gotta be rock and roll music, if you wanna dance with
me
If you wanna dance with
me
[Verse 1]
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 go 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 way you use it
It’s
gotta be rock and roll music, if you wanna dance with
me
If you wanna dance with
me
[Verse 2]
I took my loved one over a
cross the tracks so she can hear my man a
wail a sax
I must admit they have a
rocking band, man, they were blowing like a
hurricane
That’s why I go 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
Gotta be rock and roll music, if you wanna dance with
me
If you wanna dance with
me
[Verse 3]
Way down South they had a
jubilee, the jokey folks they had a
jamboree
They’re drinking home brew from a
water cup, the folks dancing there are
all shook up
And started playing 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
Gotta be rock and roll music, if you wanna dance with
me
If you wanna dance with
me
[Verse 4]
Don’t care to hear them play a
tango and In The Mood they take a
mambo
It’s way too early for a
congo so keep a rocking that
piano
That’s why I go 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
Gotta be rock and roll music, if you wanna dance with
me
If you wanna dance with
me
