Well I tried to like country But it gave me the blues don't you know And I tried to like jazz But it wore out my shoes to the soul Well I ain't no criminal ain't no saint Ain't complaining and don't get faint Got a job that I can't refuse - And I won't be late
I'm a rock 'n roller, yeah I'm a rock 'n roller Gonna rock 'n roll you all night long
Well I put on a ballad and pretend that it's hot but it's not And the harder I try the new music just don't hit the spot Well I ain't no criminal ain't no saint Ain't no whiner, don't get faint Excuse me if I sound rude - I got a job to do
I'm a rock 'n roller, yeah I'm a rock 'n roller I'm a rock 'n roller, yeah I'm a rock 'n roller Gonna rock 'n roll you all night long
{instrumental}
Well I can't take classical cause I ain't old what a shame And when rap makes me feel like a gangster, I ain't to blame Well I ain't no criminal, ain't no saint Ain't complaining, don't get faint Got to keep rocking I can't stop - or I'll blow my top
I'm a rock 'n roller, I'm a rock 'n roller Gonna rock 'n roll you all night long...
