Well, the band takes the stage and the people start to 

scream

The bass, it gets to thumping and the guitars ring

The drummer starts jamming and knocking all around

The crowd goes wild as the lights come down

I said, honey, listen to the music play

You know, a little rock ?n' roll it sure goes a long, 

long way.



Well, that sweet country music is all good and fine

When you rosin up the fiddles and the guitars crying

Ain't nothing in this world like a honky tonk sound

But, every now and then you got to break it on down

I said, honey, ah, tell me what I say

You know, a little rock ?n' roll it sure goes a long, 

long way.

Ah, go on now.




You can pick it how you want it, you can pick it how 

you choose

Play it with some soul or play it with some blues

Pick it out of tune or pick it off key

Anyway you do it, is fine by me

I said, honey, I don't care what the old folks say

A little rock 'n' roll it sure goes a long, long way.



Well, I'm tired of this rap and I'm sick of this pop

It just don't shake and it sure don't rock

I need to find something, that's got a little feel

When the music gets to going, you can't sit still

I said, honey, listen to the guitars play

A little rock ?n' roll it sure goes a long, long way

One more time.
