Just let me hear some of that rock and 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
Gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me,
If you wanna dance with me.

I got no kick against modern jazz
Unless it's out and played on too darn fast
I lose the beauty of the melody
Until it sounded like a symphony.

That's why I go for that rock and 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
Gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me,
If you wanna dance with me.

I took my loved one over cross the tracks
And she could hear the man, a wail of sax
I must admit they had a rocking band
Man, they were blowing like a hurricane.

That's why I go for that rock and 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
Gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me,
If you wanna dance with me.

Way down South they gave a jubilee
Them Georgia folks they had a jamboree
They're drinking home brew from a wooden cup
The folks were dancing there got all shook up.

And started playing that rock and 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
Gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me,
If you wanna dance with me.

Don't care to hear them play a tango
I'm in no mood to take a mambo
It's way too early for the congo
So keep a rocking that piano.

That's why I go for that rock and 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
Gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me,
If you wanna dance with me.
