| Well, all the cats get together to have a good time
|
| You bring your girl and I’ll bring mine
|
| We’ll all get together, we’ll go to the hop
|
| And all the cats start shakin' and a-doin' the bop
|
| We do the walk, the fish, the chicken, the stroll
|
| Mama, that’s rock 'n' roll (that's rock 'n' roll)
|
| Well, now on Saturday night, you got your homework done
|
| Your mind’s made up, you’re gonna have some fun
|
| You call your girl, you’re gonna meet her at nine
|
| Odds all set, you’re gonna have a good time
|
| You just can’t help it when it’s in your soul
|
| Mama, that’s rock 'n' roll (that's rock 'n' roll)
|
| Well, you keep reelin' and rockin', 'cause you’re feelin' alright
|
| If the band wouldn’t stop, you know you’d rock all night
|
| You know it’s alright, you’re hurtin' no one
|
| Just gettin' your kicks, just havin' some fun
|
| Some people don’t like it, 'cause they don’t understand
|
| They don’t know what it’s like to hear a rockin' band
|
| They forgot about the time when they were young
|
| About the things they did and the songs they sung
|
| But now we got something both young and old
|
| Mama, that’s rock 'n' roll (that's rock 'n' roll)
|
| (Oh, rock it now, yeah!)
|
| (Oh, let’s git it now!)
|
| Well, you keep reelin' and rockin', you’re feelin' alright
|
| If the band wouldn’t stop, you know you’d rock all night
|
| You know it’s alright, you’re hurtin' no one
|
| Just gettin' your kicks, just havin' some fun
|
| Some people don’t like it, 'cause they don’t understand
|
| They don’t know what it’s like to hear a rockin' band
|
| They forgot about the time when they were young
|
| About the things they did and the songs they sung
|
| But now we got something both young and old
|
| Mama, that’s rock 'n' roll |
