Rock And Roll Music - Chuck Berry, Etta James

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

I have no kicks against modern jazz

Unless they try to play it too darned fast

And change the beauty of the melody

Until it 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 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

I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks

So she could hear my man a-wailin' sax

I must admit they have a rockin' band

Man they was blowing like a hurricane

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

Way down south they gave a jubilee

I tell you folks they had a jamboree

And drinking beer from a wooden cup

The folks a-dancin' got all shook up

They 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 way you use it

It’s gotta be rock and roll music

If you wanna dance with me

If you wanna dance with me

Say if you wanna dance with me

If you wanna dance with me

If you wanna dance with me

It’s gotta be some of that

If you wanna dance with me
