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 It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me
I have no kicks against modern jazz Unless they try to play it too darned fast And change the beauty of the melody Until it sound just like a symphony
That's why I go for 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 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 could hear my man a-wailin' sax I must admit they have a rockin' band Man they was blowing like a hurricane
That's why I go for 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 and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me
Way down south they gave a jubilee I tell you folks they had a jamboree And drinking beer from a wooden cup The folks a-dancin' got all shook up
They started playing that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a backbeat you can't lose it Any old way you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me
Say if you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me It's gotta be some of that If you wanna dance with me
