@@ [ Rock'n Roll Music ] |
@ |
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 gotta be rock and roll music, |
If you wanna dance with me, |
If you wanna dance with me. |

I've got no kick against modern jazz, |
Unless they try to play it too darn fast; |
And change the beauty of the melody, |
Until they sounded like a symphony, |
@ |
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. |
Gotta be rock and 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 can hear my man await a sax, |
I must admit they have a rockin' band, |
Man they were going like a hurricane |
@ |
And started playin' 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. |
Gotta be rock and roll music, |
If you wanna dance with me, |
If you wanna dance with me. |

Way down South they gave a jubilee, |
The country folks had a jamboree, |
They're drinkin' homebrew from a water cup, |
And everybody got all shook up |

That's why I go for that rock and roll music... |
Any old way you choose it; |

If you wanna dance with me, |
If you wanna dance with me. |

Don't care to hear 'em play a tango, |
I'm in the mood to dig a mambo; |
It's way to early for a congo, |
So keep a rockin' that piano |

@@ [ Johnny B. Goode ] |
@ |
Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans |
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens |
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood |
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode |
Who never ever learned to read or write so well |
But he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell |
@ |
@@* |
Go go,go Johnny go go |
Go Johnny go go |
Go Johnny go go |
Go Johnny go go |
Johnny B. Goode@@* |
@ |
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack |
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track |
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade |
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made |
People passing by they would stop and say |
Oh my that little country boy could play |
@ |

@ |
His mother told him "Someday you will be a man, |
And you will be the leader of a big old band. |
Many people coming from miles around |
To hear you play your music when the sun go down |
Maybe someday your name will be in lights |
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight." |
@ |
Go go,go Johnny go go |
Go go go Johnny go |
Go go go Johnny go |
Go go go Johnny go |
Go Johnny B. Goode |

@@ [ Sweet Little Sixteen ] |
They're really rockin' in Boston |
In Pittsburgh, PA |
Deep in the heart of Texas |
And 'round the 'Frisco Bay |
All over St. Louis |
And down in New Orleans |
All the cats wanna dance with |
Sweet Little Sixteen |
@ |
Sweet Little Sixteen |
She's just got to have |
About a half a million |
Famed autographs |
Her wallet filled with pictures |
She gets them one by one |
Becomes so excited |
Watch her, look at her run |
@ |
"Oh Mommy, Mommy |
Please may I go? |
It's such a sight to see |
Somebody steal the show |
Oh Daddy, Daddy |
I beg of you |
Whisper to Mommy |
It's alright with you" |
@ |
'Cause they'll be rockin' |
On Bandstand |
In Philadelphia, PA |
Deep in the heart of Texas |
And round the 'Frisco Bay |
All over St. Louis |
Way down in New Orleans |
All the cats wanna dance with |
Sweet Little Sixteen |
@ |
Sweet Little Sixteen |
She's got the grown-up blues |
Tight dresses and lipstick |
She's sportin' high heel shoes |
Oh, but tomorrow morning |
She'll have to change her trend |
And be sweet sixteen |
And back in class again |
@ |
Well |
They'll be rockin' in Boston |
Pittsburgh, PA |
Deep in the heart of Texas |
And 'round the 'Frisco Bay |
Way out in St. Louis |
Way down in New Orleans |
All the cats wanna dance with |
Sweet Little Sixteen |
