E7
I got no kick against modern jazz
                           A7
unless they try to play it too darn fast
                             D7
and change the beauty of the melody
                             E7
until they sound just like a symphony
                             A7
    That's why I go for that rock and roll music...

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...

Way down south they have a jubalee
The jokey folks, they had a jamboree
They're drinking home brew from a wooden cup
the folks a dancin got all shook up
    and started playing that rock and roll music

Don't care to hear them play a tango
I'm in the mood to take a mamboo
it's way too early for a congo
so keep rockin that piano
    So I can hear some of that rock and roll music
