Chuck Berry — Rock & Roll Music

[Chorus] Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me [Verse 1] I 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 [Chorus] That's why I go for that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me [Verse 2] I took my loved one over across the tracks So she can hear my man a-wail a sax I must admit they have a rockin' band Man they were blowing like a hurricane [Chorus] That's why I go for that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me [Verse 3] Way down South they gave a jubilee The jokey folks they had a jamboree They're drinking home brew from a wooden cup The folks dancing got all shook up [Chorus] And started playing that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me [Verse 4] Don't care to hear 'em play a tango Ain't in the mood to take a mambo It's way too early for the congo So keep a rockin' that piano [Chorus] So I can hear some of that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me
