[Refrain:] Rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a back beat, you can't lost it, Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock 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 change the beauty of the melody Until they sound just like a symphony
That's why I go for that that [Refrain:]
I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks So she can hear my man awail a sax I must admit they have a rockin' band Man, they were goin' like a hurrican'
That's why I go for that that [Refrain:]
Way down South they gave a jubilee The jokey folks they had a jamboree They're drinkin' home brew from a water cup The folks dancin' got all shook up
And started playin' that that [Refrain:]
Don't care to hear 'em play a tango I'm not in mood to take a mambo It's way to early for a congo So keep a rockin' that piano
