Just let me hear some of that rock and roll musicAny old way you choose itIt's got a backbeat you can't lose itAny old time you use itIt's gotta be rock and roll musicIf you wanna dance with meIf you wanna dance with me
I have no kicks against modern jazzUnless they try to play it too darned fastAnd change the beauty of the melodyUntil it sound just like a symphony
That's why I go for that rock and roll musicAny old way you choose itIt's got a backbeat you can't lose itAny old time you use itIt's gotta be rock and roll musicIf you wanna dance with meIf you wanna dance with me
I took my loved one over 'cross the tracksSo she could hear my man a-wailin' saxI must admit they have a rockin' bandMan they was blowing like a hurricane
That's why I go for that rock and roll musicAny old way you choose itIt's got a backbeat you can't lose itAny old time you use itIt's gotta be rock and roll musicIf you wanna dance with meIf you wanna dance with me
Way down south they gave a jubileeI tell you folks they had a jamboreeAnd drinking beer from a wooden cupThe folks a-dancin' got all shook up
They started playing that rock and roll musicAny old way you choose itIt's got a backbeat you can't lose itAny old way you use itIt's gotta be rock and roll musicIf you wanna dance with meIf you wanna dance with me
Say if you wanna dance with meIf you wanna dance with meIf you wanna dance with meIt's gotta be some of thatIf you wanna dance with me
