        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

        It's gotta be rock and roll music

        If you wanna dance with me

        If you wanna dance with me

         

        I have no kicks against modern jazz

        Unless they try to play it too darned fast

        And change  the beauty of the melody

        Until it sound just like a symphony

         

        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 wanna dance with me

        If you wanna dance with me

         

        I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks

        So she could hear my man a-wailin' sax

        I must admit they have a rockin' band

        Man they was blowing like a hurricane

         

        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 wanna dance with me

        If you wanna dance with me

         

        Way down south they gave a jubilee

        I tell you folks they had a jamboree

        And drinking beer from a wooden cup

        The folks a-dancin' got all shook up

         

        They started playing that rock and roll music

        Any old way you choose it

        It's got a backbeat you can't lose it

        Any old way you use it

        It's gotta be rock and roll music

        If you wanna dance with me

        If you wanna dance with me

         

        Say if you wanna dance with me

        If you wanna dance with me

        If you wanna dance with me

        It's gotta be some of that

        If you wanna dance with me

        Fun is in

        It's no sin

        It's that time again

        To shed your load

        Hit the road

        On the run again

        Summer skies

        In our eyes

        And a warmer sun

        It's one for all

        All for one

        All for all out fun

         

        Gotta go to it

        Gonna go through it

        Gotta get with it

         

        Lookin' good

        Down the hood

        Of a funky ride

        On the way

        To the tide

        Just to tan your hide

        In the shade

        Lemonade

        In the sun ocean spray

        To get your face

        In the race

        Or lay back's no disgrace

         

        Gotta go to it

        Gonna go through it

        Gotta get with it

         

        It's OK to get out there and

        Have some fun

        By yourself maybe

        Or else with a special one.

        Good or bad

        Glad or sad

        I'ts all gonna pass

        So it's OK

        Let's all play

        And enjoy it while it lasts

         

        Gotta go to it

        Gonna go through it

        Gotta get with it

        Well back in time with just a rhythm and rhyme

        Gregorian chants were a real big thing

        They took that chant and added harmony

        It was a different sound

        But had the same meaning

         

        I know (I know) I know (I know)

        It took us a long while

        To go (to go) to go (to go)

        And find us a rock style

        I know (I know) I know (I know)

        That we can take it one more mile

         

        Because

        We're singing that same song

        We're still singing that same song

        We're singing that same song

        That same song

        That same song

         

        The rock of ages

        Built that rockin' sound

        'Til more and more people start to come around

        They worshipped in church

        And built that great big choir

        It grew and it grew

        Until it spread like fire

         

        I know (I know) I know (I know)

        It took us a long while

        To go (to go) to go (to go)

        And find us a rock style

        I know (I know) I know (I know)

        That we can take it one more mile

         

        Because

        We're singing that same song

        We're still singing that same song

        We're singing that same song

        That same song

        That same song

         

        Same song

        Oh yeah

        Same song

        Oh yeah

        Same song that same song

         

        Same song

        Oh yeah

        Same song

        Oh yeah

        Same song that same song

        Yes you are

        Listen

        I'm in the driveway

        Hey what are you talking about?

        I saw you on the lawn

        Hey you

        Hey what?

        Will you will you get off my front lawn with your car?

        Ahh shut up

        What are you doin'?

        Hey he can't talk to him like that

        Yeah what's goin' on?

        I'm gonna call the police

        Hey listen

        What are you talking about?

        I saw the whole thing and you're innocent

        You keep out of it

        Come on guys let's take off

        What are you talking about?

        Ah why don't you go arrest me from here?

         

        Whew it's time for me to meditate

         

        What time is it?

        How long has it been?

        Bubbles and ripples floatin' through my mind

        I must have drifted away

         

        Since I sat down

        Where have I been?

        The mantra my mantra must have took me away

        It must have took me away

         

        Maharishi gave it to me

        And I wonder if it set me free

        And it did

        And he'll tell you "sometimes it goes real fast and other times it goes

        real slow

        Any way you do it it's bound to work I know"

         

        One two three four

         

        Transcendental meditation should be part of your time

        It's simple it's easy as making this rhyme

        Transcendental meditation really works for me good

        More much more than I thought it would

        Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'

        Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'

         

        Last night I took a walk in the dark

        A steamin' place called Palisades Park

        Turned around to see what I could see

        That's where the girls are

         

        I took a ride on a shoopby shoo

        The girl I sat beside was awful cool

        And when we start I gave that girl a hug

        My heart was flyin'

        Up like a rocket ship

        Down like a roller coaster

        Left like a loopdy loop

        And around like a merry go round

         

        We ate and ate at a hot dog stand

        We danced around to a rockin' band

        And we we quit I gave that girl a hug

        In the tunnel of love

         

        You never know how great a kiss can be

        Until you stop at the bottom of a ferris wheel

        In the tunnel of love down at Palisades Park

         

        Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'

         

        Yeah

        Oh my God

        Those coconuts are bad in the ass damn (???)

         

        We ate and ate at a hot dog stand

        We danced around to a rockin' band

        And we we quit I gave that girl a hug

        In the tunnel of love

         

        You never know how great a kiss can be

        Until you stop at the bottom of a ferris wheel

        In the tunnel of love down at Palisades Park

         

        Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'

        Down at Palisades Park

        Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'

        Down at Palisades Park

        Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'

        Down at Palisades Park

        Well Susie Cincinnati

        Got a groovy little motor car

        She lives for the night

        And her husband's a security guard

         

        Her looks aren't exactly a plus

        But it doesn't matter to us

        Because she knows where it's at

        And she gets you there in seconds flat

         

        She knows all the honkies

        And the kids are all home in bed

        (Ooo ride Susie Cincinnati)

        She'd rather do this

        Than anything else instead

        (Ooo ride Susie Cincinnati)

        She got the nicotine fit

        And before she discovered it

        (Ooo ride Susie Cincinnati)

        Everybody in the back seat suffocated

         

        Susie Cincinnati we thought you were a winner

        Susie Cincinnati city's number one sinner

        Yeah

        Susie Cincinnati we thought you were a winner

        Woah

        Susie Cincinnati city's number one sinner

        Susie Cincinnati we thought you were a winner

        Susie Cincinnati city's number one sinner

        Yeah

        Susie Cincinnati we thought you were a winner

        Susie Cincinnati city's number one sinner

        Woah yeah

         

        She'll always pick you up

        When the others go and leave you down

        (To the ride to the ride Susie Cincinnati)

        In her little red cab she's scootin' all over town

        (To the ride to the ride Susie Cincinnati)

        She's got a runnin' meter too

        All polished up and shined for you

        But it's just for looks

        cause she'll give the ride free to you

         

        Susie Cincinnati

        Susie Cincinnati

        There's a lot of things I want

        A lot of things that I'd like to be

        But girl I don't foresee

        A rags to riches story for me

        I've given up on schemes

        Cause everyone fell through

        I've given up so many things

        Don't ask me to give up on you

         

        And baby baby

        Just once in my life

        Let me get what I want

        Girl don't let me down

        Just once in my life

        Let me hold onto

        A good thing I found

        Don't let me down

        Baby say that you'll be staying

         

        I couldn't face the day

        If you weren't here by my side

        And if you went away

        Then I'd be left without any pride

        There's just one little dream

        I've got to make come true

        There's just one round I've got to win

        I can't be a loser with you

         

        And baby baby

        Just once in my life

        Let me get what I want

        Girl don't let me down

        Just once in my life

        Let me hold onto

        A good thing I found

        Don't let me down

        Baby say that you'll be staying

         

        Every pot of gold

        Ain't so easy to find

        And if you'll stand by me

        Girl I'll give you some of mine

        I can't give you the world

        But I'll work hard for you girl

        Well I'll work hard

        Every day

        Baby don't leave me

        Now say you won't leave me

        Do this for me baby

         

        Once in my life

        Let me get what I want

        Girl don't let me down

        Just once in my life

        Let me hold onto

        A good thing I found

        Don't let me down

        Baby say that
