Lyrics for Rock And Roll Music

Just let me hear some of that rock and 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'n'roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna 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 and 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'n'roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna 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 and 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'n'roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna 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 and 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'n'roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna 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 conga So keep a-rockin' that piano So I can hear some of that rock and 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'n'roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me
