Just let me hear some of that rock'n'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 - roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me
I have no kick against modern jazz Unless they try to play it too darn fast And change the beauty of the melody Until it sounds just like a symphony That's why I go for that rock'n'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 - 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 her my man a - whalin' sax I must admit they have a rockin' band Man they were goin' like a hurricane That's why I go for that rock'n'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 - roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me Way down South they gave a jubilee Them country folks they had a jamboree They're drinkin' home - brew from a wooden cup The folks dancin' got all shook up And started playin' that rock'n'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 - roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me
Don't care to hear 'em play the tango I'm in no mood to dig a mambo It's way too early for the congo So keep a - rockin' that piano So I can hear some of that rock'n'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 - roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me
