[Verse 1]
I want to go back to '55
Ten before I was burned alive
There ain't no use in a stupid dream
My head is tired from this enthymeme

I want to hear their holy ramage
I don't mind a little ear damage
Henry Sloane in my soca soul
I'm not ashamed to say

[Chrorus]
I want rock & roll
I want rock & roll
Want rock & roll
Want rock & roll
I want rock & roll
Want rock & roll
Want rock & roll
Oh

[Verse 2]
I'd like to hear some Chubby Checker
Crush my heart with Desmond Dekker
Little itty bitty of Freddy Fender
Start me up, return to sender
[Chorus]
I want rock & roll
Want rock & roll
Want rock & roll
I want rock & roll
Want rock & roll
Want rock & roll

[Verse 3]
I'd like to go back to '55
Ten before I was burned alive
The world can be so very cold
I've nothing to say except

[Chorus]
I want rock & roll
Want rock & roll
Want rock & roll
I want rock & roll
Want rock & roll
Want rock & roll

[Outro]
If you're going to San Francisco
Just remember it all is disco
