Rock-and-roll music

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 want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me

I've got no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And lose the beauty of the melody
Until they sounded like a symphony

That's why I go for 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
It's gotta be Rock And Roll Music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me

[ I took my lover on over 'cross the tracks
...
I must admit we had a rockin' band
Now they will blow her like a hurricane ]

That's why I go for 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 want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me

[ Way down south they had a jeweller

They drink ... from a wooden cup
.. all shook up ]

I try to play that Rock And Roll Music
Any old time you use 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 want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me

Don't care to hear 'em play a tango
I'm in the mood to dig a mambo
It's way to early for a congo
So keep on rockin' that piano

That's why I go for that Rock And Roll Music
Any old time you use 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 want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
