Píseň: Sweet Little Rock and Roller

Interpret:
Chuck Berry
Album:
Is on Top
She's 9 years old and sweet as she can be
All dressed up like a downtown christmas tree
Dancin' and hummin' a rock-roll melody


She's the daughter of a well-respected man
Who taught her how to judge and understand
Since she became a rock-roll music fan


Sweet little rock and roller, sweet little rock and roller
Her daddy don't have to scold her, her mother can't hardly hold her
She never gets any older, sweet little rock and roller


(instrumental)


Should've seen her eyes when the band began to play
And the famous singers sang and barred away
When the stars performed, she screamed and yelled hooray!


Ten thousand eyes were watching them leave the floor
Five thousand tongues were screaming more! more!
About 1500 waitin' outside the door


(repeat and fade):
Sweet little rock and roller
