Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock 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 go for that that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock 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 awail a sax I must admit they have a rockin' band Man, they were blowin' like a hurrican'
That's why I go that that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me
Way down South they had a jubilee the jokey folks they had a jamboree They're drinkin' home brew from a water cup The folks dancin' there are all shook up
And started playin' that that rock and roll music Any old time you use it It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me
Don't care to hear 'em play a tango And in The Mood they take a mambo It's way to early for a congo So keep a rockin' that piano
That's why I go for that that rock and roll music Any old time you use it It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me
