Here are the lyrics to “Rock and Roll Music” by Chuck Berry:
“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 want to dance with me,
If you want to dance with me
I’ve have no kick against modern jazz,
Unless they try to play it too darn fast;
And change 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 want to dance with me,
If you want to dance with me
I took my loved one over cross the tracks
So she can hear my man awailin’ sax,
I must admit they have a rockin’ band,
Man they were blowing like a hurricane
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 want to dance with me,
If you want to dance with me
Way down south they gave a jubilee,
The jokey folks they had a jamboree,
They’re drinkin’ homebrew 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 want to dance with me,
If you want to dance with me
Don’t care to hear ’em play a tango,
I’m in the mood to dig a mambo;
It’s way too early for the congo,
So keep a rockin’ that piano
So I can 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 want to dance with me,
If you want to dance with me”
