Mental As Anything: Rock & Roll Music

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 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 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 Roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me.

I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks
So she can hear my man awail a sax
I must admit they have a Rockin' band
Man, they were goin' 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 Roll music
If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me

'Way down South they gave a jubilee
The jokey folks they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' home brew from a water 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 Roll music
If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me

Don't care to hear 'em play a tango
I'm in the mood to hear a mambo
It's 'way too early for a congo
So keep on 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 Roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
