Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
A
It's got a backbeat you can't lose it
E
Any old time you use it
B
It's gotta be rock and roll music
E
If you wanna dance with me
B
E
If you wanna dance with me
B
I have no kicks against modern jazz
E
Unless they try to play it too darned fast
A
And change the beauty of the melody
B
Until it sound just like a symphony
That's why I go for that rock and roll music...
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...
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...
