Give me some of that rock n' roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat you can't lose it
Gotta be a rock n' roll music
If you wanna dance with me
I got no kick against the modern jazz
Unless I try to play it too darn fast
I lose the beauty of the melody
Until it sounded like a symphony
Any old way you choose it
Got a backbeat you can use it
Gotta be a rocker for a music
If you wanna dance with me
I took my loved one over across the tracks
To hear a man who played a wailin' sax
I must admit they had a rockin' name
Many were blowin' like a hurricane
It's got a back beat you can't lose it
And the old time of usin'
Gotta be a rockin' roll of music
If you wanna dance with me
Way down south they had a jubilee
I tell you folks, they had a jamboree
Drinkin' homebrew from a wooden cup
The folks were dancin' and got all sugar
They started playin' that
Any old way you choose it
You try to fight me, you can't lose it
Gotta be a rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
don't get them here to play the tango
