I Will Rock and Roll with You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They used to call me Rockabilly, all of us ran through
When Elvis opened up the door with a pup-and-pup-and-boo
I didn't ever play much rock and roll because I got so much country in my soul

[Chorus]
But I'm a different man for loving you and I take a shot at what you ask me to
And baby I will rock and roll with you if I have to

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Memphis 1955 on Union Avenue
Carl and Jerry and Charlie and Roy and Billy Riley too
A new sun rising on the way we sing and a world of weirdos waiting in the wings

[Chorus]
But I'm a different man for loving you and I take a shot at what you ask me to
And baby I will rock and roll with you if I have to

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
