Rock And Roll Music
(Chuck Berry)
Just let me hear some of that rock'n'roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock - roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
I have no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until it sounds just like a symphony
That's why I go for that rock'n'roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock, 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
So she could her my man a, whalin' sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
Man they were goin' like a hurricane
That's why I go for that rock'n'roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock, roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
Way down South they gave a jubilee
Them country folks they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' home, brew from a wooden cup
The folks dancin' got all shook up
And started playin' that rock 'n' roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock, roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
Don't care to hear 'em play the tango
I'm in no mood to dig a mambo
It's way too early for the Congo
So keep a, rockin' that piano
So I can hear some of that rock 'n' roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock, roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
