You say you want a revolution,

Well, you know, we all want to change the world.

You tell me that it's evolution,

Well, you know, we all want to change the world.

But when you talk about destruction,

Don't you know that you can count me out

Don't you know it's gonna be alright.

You say you got a real solution,

Well, you know, we'd all love to see the plan.

You asked me for a contribution,

Well, you know, we're doing what we can.

But when you want money for people with minds that hate,

All I can tell you is brother you have to wait.

Don't you know it's gonna be alright.

You say you'll change the constitution,

Well, you know we all want to change your head.

You tell me it's the institution,

Well, you know you better free your mind instead.

But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao,

You ain't going to make it with anyone, anyhow.

Don't you know it's gonna be alright.

Just let me hear some of that

Rock'n'roll music

Any old way you choose it

It's got a back beat you can't lose it

Any old time you use it

It's gotta be rock'n'roll music

If you wanna dance with me,

If you wanna dance with me.

I've got no kick against modern jazz

Unless they try to play it too darn fast

And change the beaty of the melody

Until they sound just like a symphony.

That's why I go for that

Rock'n'roll music

Any old way you choose it

It's got a back beat you can't lose it

Any old time you use it

It's gotta be rock'n'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 can hear my man a wail a sax

I must admit they have a rocking band

Man, they were going like a hurrican.

That's why I go for that

Rock'n'roll music

Any old way you choose it

It's got a back beat you can't lose it

Any old time you use it

It's gotta be rock'n'roll music

If you wanna dance with me,

If you wanna dance with me.

Way down south they had a jubilee

The jokey folks they had jamboree

They're drinking home brew from a water cup

The folks dancing got all chook up

And started playing that

Rock'n'roll music

Any old way you choose it

It's got a back beat you can't lose it

Any old time you use it

It's gotta be rock'n'roll music

If you wanna dance with me,

If you wanna dance with me.

Don't care to hear 'em play a tango

I'm in the wood to hear a mambo

It's way too early for a congo

So keep a rocking that piano

That's why I go for that

Rock'n'roll music

Any old way you choose it

It's got a back beat you can't lose it

Any old time you use it

It's gotta be rock'n'roll music

If you wanna dance with me,

If you wanna dance with me.

Rocky Raccoon checked into his room only to find Gideon's Bible.

Rocky had come equipped with a gun to shoot off the legs of his rival.

His rival it seems had broken his dreams by stealing the girl of his fancy.

Her name was Magill, she called herself Lil, but ev'ryone knew her as Nancy.

Now she and her man who called himself Dan were in the next room as the show down.

Rocky burst in and grinning a grin he said, " Danny boy, this is a show down."

But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot and Rocky collapsed in the garden.

Now the doctor came in stinking of gin and proceeded to lie on the table.

He said, "Rocky…"

And Rocky said, "Doc, it's only a scratch, and I'll be better,

I' be better, Doc, as soon as I'm able."

Now Rocky Raccoon, he fell back his room only to find Gideon's Bible.

Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt to help with good Rocky's read Bible.

Well, I'm a write a little letter, gonna mail into my local D.J.

Yes, it's a jumping little record I want my jockey to play

Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today

You know my temperatures rising and the juke box blowing a fuse

My heart's beating rhythm and my soul keeps a singing the blues

Roll over Beethoven and tell me Tchaikovsky she news.

I got the rocking pneumonia I need a skol of rhythm and blues

I caught the rolling arthritic sitting down at a rhythm review

Roll over Beethoven, they're rocking in two by two.

Well, if you feel you liket, go get your lover

Then reel and rock it roll it over

Then mose on up just a triffle burther

Then reel and rock with one another

Roll over Beethoven, did them rhythm and blues.

You know my temperatures nising and the juke box blowing a fuse

My heart's beating rhythm and my soul keeps a singing the blues

Roll over Beethoven and tell me Tchaikovsky she news.

I'd rather see you dead, little girl than to be with another man.

You'd better keep your head, little girl, or I won't know where I am.

You better run for your life if you can, little girl,

Hide your head in the sand, little girl,

Catch you with another man, that's the end, little girl.

Well you know that I'm a wicked guy and I was born with a jealous mind.

And I can't spend my whole life tryin' to make you toe the line.

You better run for your life if you can, little girl,

Hide your head in the sand, little girl,

Catch you with another man, that's the end, little girl.

Let this be a sermon, I mean ev'rything I said.

Baby, I'm determined and I'd rather see you dead.

You better run for your life if you can, little girl,

Hide your head in the sand, little girl,

Catch you with another man, that's the end, little girl.

I'd rather see you dead, little girl than to be with another man.

You'd better keep your head, little girl, or I won't know where I am.

You better run for your life if you can, little girl,

Hide your head in the sand, little girl,

Catch you with another man, that's the end, little girl.
