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 got no kicks
against modern jazz
Unless they try
to play it
too darned fast
And change the beauty
of the melody
Until it sounds
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
across 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
If you wanna
dance with me
If you wanna
dance with me
