Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
When evening rolls around and it's time to go to town
Where do you go to rock and roll?
[Verse 2]
The old folks say that you gotta end your date by ten
If you're out on a date and you bring it home late, it's a sin
There just ain't no excuse and you know you're gonna lose
You never win, I'll say it again
[Verse 3]
And it's all because
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
When evening rolls around and it's time to go to town
Where do you go to rock and roll?
[Verse 4]
You pull into a drive in, you find a place to park
You hop into the backseat where you know it's nice and dark
You're just about to move and you're thinking it's a breeze
There's a light in your eye and then a guy says
"Out of the car, long hair"
Ooh-wee, you're comin' with me
The local police
[Verse 5]
And it's all because
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
When evening rolls around and it's time to go to town
Where do you go to rock and roll?
[Verse 6]
Where do you go to rock and roll?
Where do you go to rock and roll?
