Lyrics

R.I.P. (Rock in Peace)

[Verse 1]

Ah-ow, leave me alone

Like a dog with a bone

Like a stone that's been thrown

Let me be on my own

[Chorus]

Let me rock

Let me rock

Let me rock

Let me rock in peace

[Verse 2]

Out of my way

Got a boogie to play

Every dog has his day

Rock and roll's here to stay

[Chorus]

Let me rock

Let me roll

Let me rock

Let me rock in peace

[Refrain]

Woo

Ooh, feels good

Mama, mama

Just like I knew it would

[Verse 3]

I get my kicks

Outta playing my licks

Outta laying my chicks

Down on Route 66

[Chorus]

Let me rock

Oh, let me rock

Let me rock

Let me rock in peace

[Guitar Solo]

Ooh

[Bridge]

(Rock, rock, rock in peace)

I wanna rock (Rock, rock, rock in peace)

Just let me rock (Rock, rock, rock in peace)

I wanna (Rock, rock, rock in peace)

Oh, let me rock

Let me rock in peace

[Refrain]

Woo

Yeah, that feels good

Yeah, mama

Just like I knew it would

[Verse 4]

Out of my way

Got a boogie to play

Every dog has his day

Rock and roll's here to stay

[Chorus]

Let me rock

Oh, let me roll

Let me rock

Let me rock in peace

[Outro]

(Rock, rock, rock in peace)

I wanna rock (Rock, rock, rock in peace)

Oh, wanna rock (Rock, rock, rock in peace)

Ooh, rock (Rock, rock, rock in peace)

I wanna rock

Let me rock in peace

(Rock, rock, rock in peace) Like Little Richard

(Rock, rock, rock in peace) Oh, and Jerry Lee

(Rock, rock, rock in peace) Like Chuck, baby

(Rock, rock, rock in peace) Come on, babe

I wanna rock

Let me rock in peace
