Your Mama Don't Dance

by Loggins & Messina




Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock n' roll.
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock n' roll.
When evening rolls around and it's time to go to town,
Where do you go to rock n' roll?

The old folks say that you gotta end your date by ten.
If you're out on a date and you bring it home late,
It's a sin.
There just ain't no excusing.
You know you're gonna lose and never win.
I'll say it again.

And it's all because your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock n' roll.
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock n' roll.
When evening rolls around and it's time to go to town,
Where do you go to rock n' roll?

(Saxophone solo)

(Guitar solo)

You pull into a drive-in and find a place to park.
You hop into the backseat where you know it's nice and dark.
You just about to move in thinking it's a breeze.
There's a light in your eyes.
And then a guy says, "Out of the car, longhair.
Louie, you're coming with me, the local police."

And it's all because your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock n' roll.
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock n' roll.
When evening rolls around and it's time to go to town,
Where do you go to rock n' roll?
Where do you go to rock n' roll?
Where do you go to rock n' roll?
