Well, you can act like a monkey
Shake your hands, do the limbo till you can't stand
Well, you can mash your potato, hippy hippy shake
But the beats still wild and your feet still ache

I say, it's just another name for rock and roll, everybody, everybody sing
It's just another name for rock and roll, rock and roll

Well, you can do the duck, walk your dog
Down the street, loop the loop to a swingin' beat
You can twist and shout and do the stomp
A chase a chicken on a pony romp but

It's just another name for rock and roll, everybody everybody sing
It's just another name for rock and roll, rock and roll

Well, they all try to shake it another way
But they rock, they roll just the same
They only call it by another name
And I don't care what they say

Down in the jungle where the tree tops are steep
They get the fever for a bongo beat, they do the ubangie stomp
The safari hop, do the monkey until they drop

But it's just another name for rock and roll everybody, everybody sing
It's just another name for rock and roll everybody, everybody sing
It's just another name for rock and roll everybody, everybody sing
