Rock and Roll Music

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.
