One night I was late
Came home from a date
Slipped out of my shoes at the door
Then from the front room
I heard a jump tune
I looked in and here’s what I saw:

There in the night
Was a wonderful scene
Mum was dancing with Dad to my record-machine
And while they danced
Only one thing was wrong
They were trying to waltz to a rock’n roll song

One, two and then rock
One, two and then roll
They did the rock’n roll waltz
Rock two three, roll two three
It looks so cute to me
I love the rock’n roll waltz

One, two and then rock
One, two and then roll
One, two and then jump
It’s good for your soul
It’s old but it’s new
Let’s do the rock’n roll waltz
