| I was playin' those rhythm and blues
|
| And then I got a big offer
|
| For more money than I could refuse
|
| I had my chance to make it Playin' anything I wanted to play
|
| But playing back in my mind
|
| You know I could hear the people say
|
| Keep playin' that rock and roll
|
| Keep doin' what you been told
|
| Save your money up for when you get old
|
| Got to keep playin' that rock ‘n' roll
|
| So I packed up and I made up to New York
|
| Where my brother was a great big star
|
| He was doin' funky music
|
| Singin' and playin' guitar
|
| Johnny was makin' the big time
|
| Everything was goin' his way
|
| But playing back in my mind
|
| You know I could hear the people say
|
| Keep playin' that rock and roll
|
| Keep doin' what you been told
|
| Save your money up for when you get old
|
| Got to keep playin' that rock ‘n' roll
|
| Don’t you know that I been doin' lots of thinkin'
|
| Well I have been tryin' hard to figure it out
|
| But there’s a certain kinda music
|
| Got to make you jump and shout
|
| Ooh, now you can call it commercial
|
| If you wanna see it that way
|
| But playing back in my mind
|
| You know I could hear the people say
|
| Keep playin' that rock and roll
|
| Keep doin' what you been told
|
| Save your money up for when you get old
|
| Keep playin' that rock and roll
|
