Chuck Berry — Rock and Roll Music lyrics

Lyrics

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 and roll music
If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me 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
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 and roll music
If you want to dance with me If you want to dance with me I took my loved one over cross the tracks
So she can hear my man a wailin' 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 and 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' homebrew 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 and 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 dig a mambo
It’s way to early for a congo
So keep a 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 and roll music
If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me
