E7 Just let me hear some of that
A7 rock and roll music, any old way you choose it
It’s got a D7 back beat you can’t lose it, A7 any old time you use it
E7 Gotta be rock and roll music if you wanna dance with A7 me
E7 If you wanna dance with A7 me

I’ve got no kick against E7 modern jazz
Unless they try to play it A7 too darn fast
And change the beauty of the D7 melody
Until they sound just like a E7 symphony

That’s why I go for that
A7 rock and roll music, any old way you choose it
It’s got a D7 back beat you can’t lose it, A7 any old time you use it
E7 Gotta be rock and roll music if you wanna dance with A7 me
E7 If you wanna dance with A7 me

I took my loved one over E7 ’cross the tracks
So she can hear my man a A7 wailing sax
I must admit they have a D7 rockin’ band
Man, they were goin’ like a E7 hurricane

That’s why I go for that
A7 rock and roll music, any old way you choose it
It’s got a D7 back beat you can’t lose it, A7 any old time you use it
E7 Gotta be rock and roll music if you wanna dance with A7 me
E7 If you wanna dance with A7 me

Way down South they gave a E7 jubilee
The jokey folks they had a A7 jamboree
They’re drinkin’ home brew from a D7 water cup
The folks dancin’ got E7 all shook up

And started playin’ that
A7 rock and roll music, any old way you choose it
It’s got a D7 back beat you can’t lose it, A7 any old time you use it
E7 Gotta be rock and roll music if you wanna dance with A7 me
E7 If you wanna dance with A7 me

Don’t care to hear ‘em play a E7 tango
I’m in the mood to gear a A7 mambo
It’s way too early for a D7 congo
So keep a rockin’ that E7 piano

That’s why I go for that
A7 rock and roll music, any old way you choose it
It’s got a D7 back beat you can’t lose it, A7 any old time you use it
E7 Gotta be rock and roll music if you wanna dance with A7 me
E7 If you wanna dance with A7 me
E7 If you wanna dance with A7 me
