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 lost it, 
Any old time you use it 
It's gotta be rock roll music 
If you wanna dance with me 
If you wanna dance with me 

I've got no kick against 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 that rock and roll music 
Any old way you choose it 
It's got a back beat, you can't lost it, 
Any old time you use it 
It's gotta be rock roll music 
If you wanna dance with me 
If you wanna dance with me 

I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks 
So she can hear my man awail a sax 
I must admit they have a rockin' band 
Man, they were goin' like a hurrican' 

That's why I go for that that rock and roll music 
Any old way you choose it 
It's got a back beat, you can't lost it, 
Any old time you use it 
It's gotta be rock roll music 
If you wanna dance with me 
If you wanna dance with me 

Way down South they gave a jubilee 
The jokey folks they had a jamboree 
They're drinkin' home brew from a water cup 
The folks dancin' got all shook up 

And started playin' that that rock and roll music 
Any old way you choose it 
It's got a back beat, you can't lost it, 
Any old time you use it 
It's gotta be rock roll music 
If you wanna dance with me 
If you wanna dance with me 

Don't care to hear 'em play a tango 
I'm in the mood to gear a mambo 
It's way to early for a congo 
So keep a rockin' that piano 
So I can gear some of that 

Rock and roll music 
Any old way you choose it 
It's got a back beat, you can't lost it, 
Any old time you use it 
It's gotta be rock roll music 
If you wanna dance with me 
If you wanna dance with me
