Rock And Roll Music Songtext
von Etta James

And now, the fantastic, the fabulous
Tremendous, powerful, dynamite
Lady of the blue
Miss Etta James, come here, baby
This is my girl

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 (oi, baby)
Any old way you choose it
It's gotta be rock ′n′ roll music
If you wanna dance with me (yeah)
If you wanna dance with me

I have no kick against modern jazz (alright)
Unless they try to play it too darn fast (know what you mean)
And change the beauty of the melody (yeah)
Until they sound just like a symphony


That's why I go for that rock ′n' roll music
Any old time you use it (anytime)
It′s got a backbeat, and you can't lose it
And any old time you use it (anytime)
It′s gotta be rock 'n' roll music
If you wanna dance with me (sing, sing, sing)
If you wanna dance with me

I took my lover over ′cross the tracks (oh, yeah)
So he can hear my man avail a sax (I hear you)
I must admit, they had a rockin′ band (I believe)
They were blowin' like a hurricane

That′s why I go for that rock 'n′ roll music (yeah, baby)
Any old way you choose it (I can feel it)
It's got a backbeat, and you can′t lose it (I know what you mean)
Any old way you choose it
It's gotta be rock 'n′ roll music (bring it on)
If you wanna dance with me (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
If you wanna dance with me

Way down south, they gave a jubilee
The country folks, they had a jamboree
They′re drinkin' Homebrew from a wooden cup
And started playing, all shook up


A-a-started playin′ that rock 'n′ roll music
Any old way you choose it (alright)
They got a backbeat, and you can't lose it
And any old way you choose it
It′s gotta be rock 'n' roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

Don′t care to hear ′em do the tango
I'm in no mood to do the mambo
It′s way too early for the congo
So keep a-rockin' that piano

So I can hear that rock ′n' roll music
And any old way you choose it
It′s got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old way you choose it
It's gotta be rock ′n′ roll music
If you wanna dance with me, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's got to be rock ′n' roll music
Any old way you choose it
It′s got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old way you choose it
It′s got to be rock 'n' roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

Give it a raising, give her a big up
Oh, wow
