ROCK’N ROLL MUSIC
Chuck Berry
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 blues it
Any old time you use it
Gotta be rock ‘n’ roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I’ve 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 ……..
I took my love on over ‘cross the tracks
so she could hear my man awail a 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 ……..
Way down South they had a jubilee
Them Georgia folks they had a jamboree
They’re drinkin’ home brew from a wooden cup
The folks are dancin’, they got all shook up
And started playin’ that rock and roll music ……..
Don’t care to hear ‘em play a tango
I’m in no mood to take a mambo
It’s way too early for the congo
So keep on rockin’ that piano
That’s why I go for that rock and roll music …….
