Any old way you choose it It's got a back beat you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me
I've got no kick against modern jazz Unless they try to play it too darn fast And lose the beauty of the melody Until they sound just like a symphony
That's why I go for that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it It's got a back beat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me
I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks So she can hear my man, awail a sax I must admit they had a rockin' band Man, they were blowin' like a hurrican'
That's why I go for that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it It's got a back beat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me
Way down south they had a jubilee The jokey folkes they had a jamboree They're drinkin' home-brew from a wooden cup The folks dancin' got all shook up
And started playin' that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it It's got a back beat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me
Don't care to hear 'em play a tango I'm in no mood to take a mambo It's 'way too early for a congo So keep a rockin' that piano
That's why I go for that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it It's got a back beat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me
