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.
