One Dozen Berrys

Just let me hear some of 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've got no kick against modern jazz
unless they try to play it too darn fast
and loose the beauty of the melody
until it sounded like a symphony.


That's why I go for that rock and roll music
any old way you choose it ...


I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks
so she can hear my man avail a sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
man, they were blowin' like a hurricane.


That's why I go for that rock and roll music ...


Way down south they had a jubilee
them Georgia folks they had a jamboree
they're drinkin' home brew from a wooden cup
the folks that dancin' where all shook up.


And started playin' that rock and roll music ...


Go get to hear 'em play a tango
and in the mood they take a mambo
it's way to early for a congo
so keep a rockin' that piano.


That's why I go for that rock and roll music ...
