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 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 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
over across the tracks
So she can hear
my man a-wail a sax
I must admit
they have a rockin' band
Man they were 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
The country folks
they had a jamboree
They're drinking home brew
from a wooden cup
The folks dancing
got all shook up
And 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 time you use it
It's gotta be
rock and roll music
If you wanna
dance with me
If you wanna
dance with me
Don't care to hear
'em play a tango
Ain't in the mood
to take a mambo
It's way too early
for the congo
So keep a rockin'
that piano
So I can 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
