Rock ‘N Roll Music

Rock ‘N Roll Music
(C. Berry)

Just let me hear some of that
Rock ‘n 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 ‘n roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me

I get no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
I lose the beauty of the melody
Until it sounds just like a symphony

That’s why I go for
Rock ‘n 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
All I got is rock ‘n roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me

I took my loved one over cross the tracks
While she can hear my man a wailing sax
I must admit that they had a rocking band
So they were blowing like a hurricane

I started playing
Rock ‘n 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 ‘n roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me

We go down south they had a jubilee
Georgia folks they had jamboree
They’re drinking home-brew from a wooden cup
He folks a dancing there were all shook up

Just let me hear some of that
Rock ‘n 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
All I got is rock ‘n roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me

I don’t care to hear them play a tango
I'm in no mood to take a mambo
It’s a way to early for a Congo
To keep a-rocking that piano

That’s why I go for
Rock ‘n 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 ‘n roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
