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.
