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 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 change 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 lost it,

Any old time you use it

It's gotta be rock roll music

If you wanna dance with me

If you wanna dance with me



I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks

So she can hear my man a'wail a sax

I must admit they have a rockin' band

Man, they were goin' 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 lost it,

Any old time you use it

It's gotta be rock roll music

If you wanna dance with me

If you wanna dance with me



Way down South they gave a jubilee

The jokey folks they had a jamboree

They're drinkin' home brew from a water cup

The folks dancin' got all shook up



And started playin' that that rock and roll music

Any old way you choose it

It's got a back beat, you can't lost it,

Any old time you use it

It's gotta be rock roll music

If you wanna dance with me

If you wanna dance with me



Don't care to hear 'em play a tango

I'm in the mood to gear a mambo

It's way to early for a congo

So keep a rockin' that piano

So I can gear some of that



Rock and roll music

Any old way you choose it

It's got a back beat, you can't lost it,

Any old time you use it

It's gotta be rock roll music

If you wanna dance with me

If you wanna dance with me
