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 loose 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 loose 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 back beat, you can't loose 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 awailing a sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
Man, they were blowin' like a hurricane

Way down South they had a jubilee
The Georgia folks they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' home brew from a wooden cup
The folks dancin' got all shook up
And started playin' that that rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It's got a back beat, you can't loose 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 'em play a tango
I'm in the mood to dig a mambo
It's way to early for a congo
So keep a rockin' that piano
That's why I go for that
