Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just let me hear some of that rock'n roll music
Any old time you choose it
Got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
Gotta be rock-roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
[Verse 2]
I got no kick against modern jazz
Unless you try to play it too darn fast
And lose the beauty of the melody
Until it sounded like a symphony
[Verse 3]
That's why I go for that rock'n roll music
Any old time you use it
Got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
Gotta be rock-roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
[Verse 4]
Took my love on over to cross the tracks
To hear a friend of mine wail a sax
I must admit they had a rockin' band
Man they were blowin' like a hurricane
[Verse 5]
That's why I go for that rock'n roll music
Any old time you choose it
Got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
Gotta be rock-roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
[Verse 6]
Won't get to hear them play a tango
They're in the mood to take a mambo
They're way too early for the combo
A keep-a rockin' that piano
[Verse 7]
Why I go to that rock'n'roll music
Any old time you choose it
Got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time we use it
Gotta be rock-roll music
If you wanna dance with me
[Verse 8]
Rock'n roll music
Any old time you choose it
Got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
Gotta be rock-roll music
If you wanna dance with me
[Verse 9]
You wanna dance with me
You wanna dance with me
