Rock and Roll Music [Live at the BBC Disk 2]

[Chorus]

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 lose it

Any old time you use it

It's got to be rock and roll music

If you want to dance with me

If you want to dance with me

[Verse 1]

I've got no kick against modern jazz

Unless they try to play it too darn fast

And lose the beauty of the melody

Until they sound just like a symphony

[Chorus]

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 lose it

Any old time you use it

It's got to be rock and roll music

If you want to dance with me

If you want to dance with me

[Verse 2]

I took my loved one over across the tracks

So she can hear my man a wailin' 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 back beat, you can't lose it

Any old time you use it

It's got to be rock and roll music

If you want to dance with me

If you want to dance with me

[Verse 3]

Way down South they had a jubilee

Them Georgia folks they had a jamboree

They're drinking home brew from a wooden cup

The folks dancing there are all shook up

[Chorus]

And started playing that rock and roll music

Any old time you use it

It's got a back beat, you can't lose it

Any old time you use it

Got to be rock and roll music

If you want to dance with me

If you want to dance with me

[Verse 4]

Don't care to hear them play a tango

And in the mood they take a mambo

It's way to early for a congo

So keep a rocking that piano

[Chorus]

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

Any old time you use it

It's got a back beat, you can't lose it

Any old time you use it

Oh, you got rock 'n roll music

If you want to dance with me

If you want to dance with me
