Lyrics

[Chorus: John Lennon] Just let me hear some of 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 Gotta be rock and roll music If you want to dance with me If you want to dance with me [Verse 1: John Lennon] I've got no kick against modern jazz Unless they try to play it too darn fast And lose the beauty of the melody Until they sound just like a symphony [Chorus: John Lennon] 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 want to dance with me If you want to dance with me [Verse 2: John Lennon] I took my loved one over across the tracks So she can hear my man a-wailin' sax I must admit, they had a rocking band Man, they were blowing like a hurricane [Chorus: John Lennon] 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 Gotta be rock and roll music If you want to dance with me If you want to dance with me [Verse 3: John Lennon] Way down South, they had a jubilee Them Georgia folks, they had a jamboree They're drinking home brew from a wooden cup The folks dancing there are all shook up [Chorus: John Lennon] And started playing that rock and roll music Any old time you use it It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it Gotta be rock and roll music If you want to dance with me If you want to dance with me [Verse 4: John Lennon] Don't care to hear them play a Tango And in the mood, they take a Mambo It's way too early for a Congo So keep a-rocking that piano [Chorus: John Lennon] That's why I go for that rock and roll music Any old time you use it It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it Oh, you got rock 'n roll music If you want to dance with me If you want to dance with me
