Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music, Any old way you choose it. It's got a back beat you can't lose it, Any old time you use it. Gotta be rock and roll music, If you wanna dance with me.
I got no kick against modern jazz Unless it's out and played on too darn fast. I lose the beauty of the melody Until it sounded like a symphony.
That's why I go for that rock and roll music...
I took my loved one over cross the tracks, And she could hear the man awailin' sax, I must admit they had a rockin' band, Man, they were blowin' like a hurrican'.
Way down south they had a jubilee, Them Georgia folks, they had a jamboree, They're drinkin' home brew from a wooden cup, The folks were dancin' there, got all shook up.
And started playing that rock and roll music...
Don't care to hear them play a tango, I'm in no mood to take a mambo, It's way too early for the congo, So keep a-rockin' that piano.
