Rock and Roll Music Lyrics

[Chorus]
Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music (Rock, roll, rock and roll)
Any old way you choose it (Rock, roll, rock and roll)
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it (Rock, roll, rock and roll)
Any old time you use it (Rock, roll, rock and roll)
It's got to be rock and roll music (Rock, roll, rock and roll)
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me

[Verse 1]
I have no kicks against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darned fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until it sounds just like a symphony

[Chorus]
That's why I go for that rock and roll music (Rock, roll, rock and roll)
Any old way you choose it (Rock, roll, rock and roll)
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it (Rock, roll, rock and roll)
Any old time you use it (Rock, roll, rock and roll)
It's got to be rock and roll music (Rock, roll, rock and roll)
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me

[Verse 2]
I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks
So she could hear my man a-wailing sax
I must admit they have a rocking band
Man, they was blowing like a hurricane
[Chorus]
That's why I go for that rock and roll music (Rock, roll, rock and roll)
Any old way you choose it (Rock, roll, rock and roll)
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it (Rock, roll, rock and roll)
Any old time you use it (Rock, roll, rock and roll)
It's got to be rock and roll music (Rock, roll, rock and roll)
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me

[Verse 3]
Way down south they gave a jubilee
I tell you folks they had a jamboree
And drinking beer from a wooden cup
The folks dancing got all shook up

[Chorus]
They started playing that rock and roll music (Rock, roll, rock and roll)
Any old way you choose it (Rock, roll, rock and roll)
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it (Rock, roll, rock and roll)
Any old way you use it (Rock, roll, rock and roll)
It's got to be rock and roll music (Rock, roll, rock and roll)
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me

[Outro]
Say, if you want to dance with me
(Rock)
If you want to dance with me
(Rock)
If you want to dance with me
It's got to be some of that (Rock)
If you wanna dance with me

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 [?]

Genius Annotation

The single version removes some extra backing vocals during the chorus and has no backing vocals during the first verse. An unreleased alternate mix was released on the “Made in California” box set in 2013, with an extra verse, more prominent backing vocals in the chorus, and a bassier-sounding backing track.
