[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
