Songtexte Rock And Roll Music - 1967 Version - Berry , Chuck

Just let me hear some of that rock ′n' roll music
Any old way you choose it
A backbeat, you can′t lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock 'n′ roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

I have no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And change the beauty of the melody
And make it sound just like a symphony

That′s why I go for that rock 'n′ roll music
Any old way you choose it
A backbeat and you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It′s gotta be rock 'n′ roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

Way down south they gave a jubilee
The country folks they had a, a jamboree
Drinkin' home brew from a, a wooden cup
Everybody got all shook up

And started playin' that rock ′n′ roll music
Any old way you choose it
A backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It′s gotta be rock 'n′ 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 could hear my man a whalin′ sax
You must admit they have a rockin' band
Man, they were blowin' like a hurricane

That′s why I go for that rock ′n' roll music
Any old way you choose it
A backbeat, you can′t lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock ′n' roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

Don′t care to hear 'em play a sambo
Not in the mood to dig a mambo
Way too late for the Congo
So keep a rockin' that piano

And let me hear some of that go, go, go
Any old way you choose it
Gotta be rock ′n′ roll music
Any old time you use it
Let's play rock ′n' roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you want to dance with me
