Sitting here wondering What it's all about This rock and roll music That makes you shout
You tune in on Bandstand They're jumping like mad And the dancing they're doing It don't look bad
[CHORUS] You get that itchy twitchy feeling (Itchy twitchy feeling) You start rocking and a reeling (Rocking and a reeling) Soon your arms and legs start flapping Like a hound dog mouth a yapping You're rocking and rolling
You don't understand But it sure feels nice You thought you might try it 'Bout once or twice
You started with that dance They call the stroll But you felt much better Doing rock and roll
[Repeat CHORUS]
You come in the house With your hair on end Nobody had to ask you Where you've been
You come in the house You're still jumping like mad I've seen a lot of people with it But you've got it bad
[Repeat CHORUS]
I don't understand it Why you don't grow up Must be something 'bout this music That I don't know
I went to a hop And it didn't take long I got the feeling Something was going wrong
[Repeat CHORUS]
Soon your arms and legs start flapping Like a hound dog mouth a yapping You're rocking and rolling
Soon your arms and legs start flapping Like a hound dog mouth a yapping You're rocking and rolling
