ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC written and performed by Chuck Berry
Just let me hear some of that...
CHORUS:
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
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Verse 1:
I have no kick against modern jazz
Unless you try to play it too darn fast
I lose the beauty of a melody
Until it sounds just like a symphony That's why I go for that...
(chorus)
Verse 2: I took my love on over 'cross the tracks So she could hear a man a-wailin' sax I must admit they had a rockin' band And they were blowin' like a hurrican' That's why I go for that...
(chorus)
Verse 3: Way down south they gave a jubilee And Georgia folks, they had a jamboree They're drinkin' home brew from a wooden cup The folks dancin' got all shook up And started playin' that...
(chorus)
Verse 4: Don't get to hear 'em play a tango I'm in no mood to take a mambo It's way too early for the congo So keep on rockin' that piano So I can hear some of that...
