Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh
[Verse 2]
Hey, did you rock 'n' roll? Rock on, ooh, my soul
Hey, did you boogie too, did you?
Hey, shout, "Summertime blues"
Jump up and down in your blue suede shoes
Hey, did you rock 'n' roll? Rock on
[Verse 3]
And where do we go from here?
Which is a way that's clear?
[Verse 4]
Still lookin' for that blue jean, baby queen
Prettiest girl I ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen, Jimmy Dean (James Dean)
[Verse 5]
And where do we go from here?
Which is a way that's clear?
[Verse 6]
Still lookin' for that blue jean, baby queen
Prettiest girl I ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen, Jimmy Dean
Jimmy Dean
[Verse 7]
Rock on
Rock on
Rock on (Hey, did you rock 'n' roll?)
Rock on
Rock on (Hey, did you rock 'n' roll?)
Rock on
[Verse 8]
Rock on (Hey, did you rock 'n' roll?) (Hey)
Rock on
Rock on (Hey, did you rock 'n' roll?) (Hey)
Rock on
Rock on (Hey, did you rock 'n' roll?) (Hey)
Rock on
Rock on (Hey, did you rock 'n' roll?) (Hey)
Rock on
[Verse 9]
Rock on (Hey, did you rock 'n' roll?) (Hey)
Rock on
Rock on (Hey, did you rock 'n' roll?) (Hey)
Rock on
