To tell me is the modern rock and roll music, Any old way you choose it.
It's got a back best you can't lose it, Any old time you use it.
It's got to be a rock and roll music.
If you wanna dance with me, If you wanna dance with me.
I got no kick against modern jazz,
Unless it's out and played on too dam fast.
I lose the beauty of the melody, Until it sounded like a symphony.
That's why I go with that rock and roll music, Any old way you choose it.
It's got a back best you can't lose it, Any old time you use it.
It's got to be a rock and roll music.
If you wanna dance with me, If you wanna dance with me.
I took my love on over across the tracks, Where she could have been man, a wail of a sax.
I must admit they had a rocking band,
Man, they were going like a hurricane.
That's why I go by that rock and roll music, Any old way you choose it.
It's got a back best you can't lose it, Any old time you use it.
It's got to be a rock and roll music.
If you wanna dance with me, If you wanna dance with me.
Way down south they had a jubilee, They go to vote to have a jamboree.
They took it home a wooden cow, The folks that dancing were all shook up,
Until I played that rock and roll music, Any old time you use it.
It's got a back best you can't lose it, Any old time you use it.
It's got to be a rock and roll music.
If you wanna dance with me, If you wanna dance with me.
Go get to hear them play a tango, And in the mood they take a mambo.
If it's what you want a combo, So give a rock and roll beat I know.
That's why I go for that rock and roll music, Any old time you use it.
It's got a back best you can't lose it, Any old time you use it.
Oh, We've got a rock and roll music.
If you wanna dance with me, If you wanna dance with me.
