Rock & Roll Music Songtext
von Chuck Berry

Just let me hear some of that rock′n'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 - 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
Until it sounds just like a symphony
That′s why I go for that rock′n'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 - 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 her my man a - whalin′ sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
Man they were goin' like a hurricane
That′s why I go for that rock′n'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 - roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

Way down South they gave a jubilee
Them country folks they had a jamboree
They're drinkin′ home - brew from a wooden cup
The folks dancin' got all shook up
And started playin' that rock′n′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 - roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me


Don′t care to hear 'em play the tango
I′m in no mood to dig a mambo
It's way too early for the congo
So keep a - rockin' that piano
So I can hear some of that rock′n′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 - roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
