Rock an Roll Lullaby Songtext
von B.J. Thomas

She was just 16 and all alone, when I came to be
So, we grew up together, my mama child and me
Now things were bad and she was scared
But whenever I would cry, she′d calm my fears and dry my tears
With a rock and roll lullaby

And she'd sing shanana-na-na-na-na-na-na
It′ll be all right
Shanana-na-na-na-na-na-na na, just hold on tight
Sing it to me mama, mama mama mama (shanana-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Sing it sweet and clear (sweet and clear)
Oh, mama let me hear that old rock and roll lullaby


Now, we made it through the lonely days, but Lord the nights were long
And we'd dream of better moments, when mama sang her song
Now I can't recall the words at all
It don′t make sense to try
′Cause I just knew lots of love came through that ol' rock and roll lullaby

When she′d sing shanana-na-na-na-na-na-na
It'll be all right
Shanana-na-na-na-na-na-na na, just hold on tight
I can hear you mama, mama mama mama (shanana-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Nothing moves my soul like the sound of a good old rock and roll lullaby

Shanana-na-na-na-na-na-na, it′ll be all right
Shanana-na-na-na-na-na-na na, just hold on tight
Sing it to me mama, mama my, my, my, my (shanana-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Sing it sweet and clear (sweet and clear)
Oh, mama let me hear that old rock and roll lullaby
Shanana-na-na-na-na-na-na, it'll be all right
Shanana-na-na-na-na-na-na na, just hold on tight
I can hear you mama, mama my, my, my, my (shanana-na-na-na-na-na-na)
