Rock and Roll Music (Live at Nippon Budokan Hall, Tokyo)

[Chorus]

Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music

Any old way you choose it

It's got a backbeat, 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 they try to play it too darn fast

And change the beauty of the melody

Until they sound just like a symphony

[Chorus]

That's why I go for that rock and roll music

Any old way you choose it

It's got a backbeat, 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 2]

I took my loved one over across the tracks

So she can hear my man a-wail a sax

I must admit they have a rocking band

Man, they were blowing like a hurricane

[Chorus]

That's why I go for that rock and roll music

Any old way you choose it

It's got a backbeat, 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 3]

Way down South they gave a jubilee

The jokey folks, they had a jamboree

They're drinking home brew from a wooden cup

The folks dancing got all shook up

[Chorus]

And started playing that rock and roll music

Any old way you choose it

It's got a backbeat, 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 4]

Don't care to hear 'em play a tango

Ain't in the mood to take a mambo

It's way too early for the Congo

So keep a rockin' that piano

[Chorus]

So I can hear some of that rock and roll music

Any old way you choose it

It's got a backbeat, 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
