Rock It For Me

Thank you

I heard it came to town

A new kind of rhythm

Spread around

Sort of set you sizzlin'

Now I'm all through with symphonies

Oh, rock it for me

Every night

You'll see all the nifties

Plenty tight

Swingin' down the '50s

Now they're all through with symphonies

Oh, rock it for me

It's true that once upon a time

The opera was the thing

But today the rage is rhythm and rhyme

So won't you satisfy my soul with the rock and roll?

You can't be tame while the band is playin'

It ain't no shame to keep your body swayin'

They beat it out in the minor key

Oh, rock it for me

Can't you hear loose singin'?

Oh, that Lou is swingin'

Say Herbie's rockin'

And 'cause it's sucking

So send me lightly, politely and brightly and slightly

Oh, rock it for me

Yes, it's true that once upon a time

The opera was the thing

But today the rage is rhythm and rhyme

So won't you satisfy my soul with the rock and roll?

You can't be tame while the band is playin'

It ain't no shame to keep your body swayin'

They beat it out in the minor key

Oh-oh, rock it

Oh-oh, rock it

Oh-oh, rock it

Oh-oh, rock it

Oh-oh, rock it

Say, won't you rock it for me?

Thank you

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen
