Mama, she done told me
She didn't like this rock and roll
But mama, mama, please
Mama, you just don't know

I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
No, no, no, no, no, no
I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes, no
I get an old time feeling
Every time I hear those blues

They told me, "Get a job
And set yourself a goal"
But they don’t understand
I just want to rock and roll

I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
No, no, no, no, no, no
I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes, no
I get an old time feeling
Every time I hear those blues

I will do my homework
I'll clean the yard every day
I will even do the dishes
I'll do anything you say

That say that rock and roll
It'll soon fade away
But I just want to tell you
Rock and roll is here to stay

I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
No, no, no, no, no, no
I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes, no
I get an old time feeling
Every time I hear those blues
Blues, blues, blues

Some might even say
It put the devil in my soul
But that's a bunch of shit
I just want to rock and roll

I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
No, no, no, no, no, no
I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes, no
I get an old time feeling
I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
No, no, no, no, no, no
I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
