Please Mr Mayor don’t ban rock’n’roll Please Mr Mayor don’t ban rock’n’roll There’s a rythm that’ll send me and a beat that’ll move my soul
Please Mr Mayor let those records play Please Mr Mayor let those records play It was enough to make me happy and clap my blues away
Now they had the charlston when you were young You all know how the dance was done You ate the big apple and the jelly roll All I wanna do is rock’n’stroll
Oh please Mr Mayor don’t let the music stop Oh please Mr Mayor don’t take away the rock Because without that backbeat my life is just a flum
[SOLO]
Please Mr Mayor let those records play Please Mr Mayor let those records play It was enough to make me happy and clap my blues away
Now constant music just leaves me cold Ain’t no beat there I can’t stroll Dancing to the ballet is kind of tough Give me a treat and I’ll strut my stuff
Please Mr Mayor don’t ban rock’n’roll Please Mr Mayor don’t ban rock’n’roll There’s a rythm that’ll send me and a beat that’ll move my soul
Please Mr Mayor, please Mr Mayor, please Mr Mayor Please Mr Mayor, please Mr Mayor, please Mr Mayor Please Mr Mayor, please Mr Mayor, please Mr Mayor
