Chorus Intro:

Rock-rock, do-wop-bop-bop-bop

Rock-rock, do-wop-bop-bop-bop



Let's rock, baby baby, let's roll

Let's bop to satisfy our soul

A-don't wait 'till we old an' gray

A-let's rock baby, right away

An' listen to me like you know you should

Now let's rock (oh yeah) while the rockin's good



Let's dance baby baby, let's hop

A-clap your hands an' do the new style bop

A-let's mambo to the bongo drums

A-do the cha-cha it's a lot of fun

A-listen to me like you know you should

Now let's rock (oh yeah) while the rock is good



A-while we're young an' a-spring is sprung

Let's go moonlight strollin'

'Cause once you're old an' your blood gets cold

Say, no more rockin' an-a rollin'



Let's swing, baby baby, let's shout

An tell the old folks what it's all about

A-don't wait 'till your bones are stiff

C'mon an' give your little heart a lift

Listen to me like you know you should

Now let's rock (oh yeah) while the rock is good



(Instrumental & sax)
