Lyrics
When I was just a little boy, you know my one and only joy
Was listenin' to that good old rock 'n' roll
Now, I'm just turned 23, and if you wanna get a message to me
All you gotta do is play that good old rock 'n' roll
They're really rockin' in Boston, in Philadelphia, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas and down in Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis and down in New Orleans
All of the kids are gonna dance with a sweet little 16
A sweet little 16, ah, she just got to have
About a half a million, a framed autographs
Ah, her wallet's filled with pictures, she get 'em one by one
Yeah, she gets so excited, oh, won't you look at her run? Yeah
I'm gonna tell aunt Mary 'bout Uncle John
He says he's got the blues, but I know he's havin' fun
Oh, baby, yeah, baby
Ah-whoo-ooh-ooh, maybe, I'm havin' some fun tonight
Chantilly lace, a pretty face, a ponytail, a-hangin' down
A little wiggle when you walk, a giggle when you talk
It makes the world go 'round, 'round, 'round
Ain't nothin' in the world let me feel so good
And make me act so funny, make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose, like a long-leg goose
Ah, baby, that's a-what I like
Come on over, baby, whole lotta shakin' goin' on, wow
Come on over, baby, whole lotta shakin' goin' on
I ain't fakin', whole lotta shakin' goin' on
Well, you can knock me down, step on my face
Slander my name all over the place
And do anything that you wanna do
Uh, uh, honey, lay off of my shoes
And don't you
Step on my blue suede shoes
Oh, you can do anything
But lay off of my blue suede shoes
When I was just a little boy, you know my one and only joy
Was listenin' to that good old rock 'n' roll
Now, I'm just turned 23, and if you wanna get a message to me
All you gotta do is play that good old rock 'n' roll
Ay
