Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music 

Any old way you choose it 

It's got a back beat, you can't lose it 

Any old time you use it 

Rock and roll music 

If you want to dance with me 

If you want to dance with me 



I've got no kick againt modern jazz 

Unless they try to play it too darn fast 

And change the beauty of the melody 

Until they sound just like a symphony 



That's why I go for that rock and roll music 

Any old way you choose it 

It's got a back beat, you can't lose it 

Any old time you use it 

Rock and roll music 

If you want to dance with me 

If you want to dance with me 



I took my loved one over cross the tracks 

So she can hear my man await a sax 

I must admit the have a rockin' band 

Man they were going like a hurricane 



That's why I go for that rock and roll music 

Any old way you choose it 

It's got a back beat, you can't lose it 

Any old time you use it 

Rock and roll music 

If you want to dance with me 

If you want to dance with me 



Way down South they gave a jubilee 

the jockey folks they had a jamboree 

They're drinkin' homebrew from a water cup 

The folks dancin' got all shook up 



And started playin' that rock and roll music 

Any old way you choose it 

It's got a back beat, you can't lose it 

Any old time you use it 

Rock and roll music 

If you want to dance with me 

If you want to dance with me 



Don't care to hear 'em play a tango 

I'm in the mood to hear a mambo 

It's way to early for a congo 

So keep rockin' that piano 



So I can get some of that rock and roll music 

Any old way you choose it 

It's got a back beat, you can't lose it 

Any old time you use it 

Rock and roll music 

If you want to dance with me 

If you want to dance with me
