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
It´s gotta be rock and roll music

If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna 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 sound just like a symphony

That´s why I go for that 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 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 awail a sax

I must admit they have a rocking band
Man, they were blowing like a hurricane

That´s why I go for that 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 wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

Way down South they had a jubilee
The jokey folks they had a jamboree
They´re drinking home brew from a water cup
The folks dancing there are all shook up

And started playing that 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
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 them play a tango
And In The Mood they take a mambo
It´s way to early for a congo
So keep a rocking that piano

That´s why I go for that 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 wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
