Rock And Roll Music - 1967 Version

Just let me hear some of that rock 'n' roll music

Any old way you choose it

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

And make it sound just like a symphony

That's why I go for that rock 'n' roll music

Any old way you choose it

A backbeat and 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

The country folks they had a, a jamboree

Drinkin' home brew from a, a wooden cup

Everybody got all shook up

And started playin' that rock 'n' roll music

Any old way you choose it

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 hear my man a whalin' sax

You must admit they have a rockin' band

Man, they were blowin' like a hurricane

That's why I go for that rock 'n' roll music

Any old way you choose it

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 a sambo

Not in the mood to dig a mambo

Way too late for the Congo

So keep a rockin' that piano

And let me hear some of that go, go, go

Any old way you choose it

Gotta be rock 'n' roll music

Any old time you use it

Let's play rock 'n' roll music

If you wanna dance with me

If you want to dance with me
