When ricky was young

He picked up the steel guitar

And feelin' the heat

He picked up the beat

And overnight became a star

Leaving a trail of glory and gold

He ran out of time before he got old

He's still alive in my soul



And he's rockin' the night away

And all the angels came out to play

Let's do the rock, rock, rock

Roll, roll, roll tonight



And he's rockin' the night away

And mary lou, she is here to stay

Let's do the rock 'n' roll tonight

And feel alright



If elvis were here

He'd know how to shake the night

He'd make you move

Get into the groove

Dancin' till the morning light

And buddy could sing

Otis had everything

Jimmy was loud

He made us so proud

They're still alive with us tonight



And he's rockin' the night away

And all the angels came out to play

Let's do the rock, rock, rock

Roll, roll, roll tonight



And he's rockin' the night away

And peggy sue, she is here to stay

Let's do the rock 'n' roll tonight

And feel alright



Let's do the rock

Let's do the rock

Let's do the rock

And feel alright
