(Chuck Berry)
Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
Any ol' way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it,
Any ol' time you use it
Gotta be rock 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
And lose the beauty of the melody
Until they sound just like a symphony
That's why I go for that rock and roll music
Any ol' way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it,
Any ol' 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 o'er 'cross the tracks
Where she could hear my man awailin' sax
I must admit they had a rockin' band
Man, they were blowin' like a hurricane
That's why I go for that rock and roll music
Any ol' way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it,
Any ol' time you use it
Gotta be rock 'n' roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Way down south they had a jubilee
The jojo folks they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' home brew from a wooden cup
The folks a-dancin', they got all shook up
I started playin' that rock and roll music
Any ol' time you use it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it,
Any ol' time you use it
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 take a mambo
It's way too early for a congo
So keep a rockin' that piano
That's why I go for that
rock and roll music
Any ol' time you use it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it,
Any ol' time you use it
Lordy gotta rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
