E7 
Just let me hear some of that... 
 
Chorus: 
A7 
Rock and roll music 
                      A7 
Any old way you choose it 
           D7            
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it 
   A7 
Any old time you use it 
     E7 
It's gotta be rock and roll music 
                         A7 
If you wanna dance with me 
E7                      A7 
If you wanna dance with me 
 
Verse 1: 
A7                       E7 
I've got no kick against modern jazz 
                                 A7 
  Unless you try to play it too darn fast 
                             D7  
And change the beauty of the melody 
                            E7 
Until it sounds just like a symphony 
                            A7 
That's why I go for that... 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Verse 2: 
A7                         E7 
I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks 
                         A7 
So she can hear my man a-wail a sax 
                         D7  
I must admit they have a rockin' band 
                             E7 
Man, they were blowin' like a hurrican' 
                             A7 
That's why I go for that... 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Verse 3: 
                             E7 
'Way down south they gave a jubilee 
                             A7 
The Jokey folks, they had a jamboree 
                                  D7  
They're drinkin' home brew from a wooden cup 
                       E7 
The folks dancin' got all shook up 
                            A7 
And started playin' that... 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Verse 4: 
                               E7 
Don't care to hear 'em play a tango 
                          A7 
I'm in the mood to take a mambo 
                          D7 
It's way too early for a congo 
                         E7 
So keep a rockin' that piano 
                           A7 
That's why i go for that...  
 
(Chorus)
