ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC (By Chuck Berry, 1964. Sung by John).
Just let me hear some of that Rock 'n' Roll music
and old way you use it
it's got a back beat you can blues it
any old time you use it
gotta be Rock 'n Roll music
if you wanna dance with me
if you wanna dance with me.
I got no kick against modern jazz
unless they try to play it too darn fast
I lose the beauty of the melody
until it sounded like a symphony.
That's why I go for that Rock 'n Roll music
any old way you use it
it's got a back beat you can blues 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 love on over cross the track
so she can hear my man awail a sax
I must admit they had a rocking band
Man they were blowing like a hurricane.
That's why I go for that Rock 'n' Roll music
any old way you use it
it's got a back beat you can blues it
any old time you use it
it's gotta be Rock 'n' Roll music
if you wanna dance with me
if you wanna dance with me.
Way down south they had a jubalee
those Georgia folks that had a jamberee
they're drinking home blew from a wooden cup
those folks were dance thay were all shook up.
And started playing that Rock 'n' Roll music
any old way you use it
it's got a black beat you can blues it
any old time you use it
it's gotta be Rock 'n' Roll music
if you wanna dance with me
if you wanna dance with me.
Don't get to hear them play tango
I ain't no mood to take a mambo
it's way too early for a congo
so keep rocking that beat I know.
That's why I go for that Rock 'n' Roll music
any old way you use it
it's got a back beat you can blues it
any old way you use it
it's gotta be Rock 'n' Roll music
if you wanna dance with me
if you wanna dance with me.
