I heard it came to town
A new kind of rhythm
Spread it around
Sorta set you sizzlin'
Now I'm all through with symphonies
Oh, rock it for me
Every night you'll see all the nifties
Clingin' too tight
Swingin' down the fifties
Now they're all through with symphonies
Oh, rock it for me
It's true that once upon a time
The opera was the thing
But today the rage is rhythm and rhyme
So won't you satisfy my soul with a rock 'n' roll
You can't be tamed while a band is playin'
It ain't no shame to keep your body swayin'
They beat it out in the minor key
Oh, rock it for me
Can't you hear me singin'?
While Louis' swingin'
Say the drummer's sockin'
And Herbie's rockin'
So send me nightly, politely, and rightly and slightly
Oh, rock it for me
Now it's true that once upon a time
The opera was the thing
But today the rage is rhythm and rhyme
So won't you satisfy my soul with a rock 'n' roll
You can't be tamed while a band is playin'
It ain't no shame to keep your body swayin'
They beat it out in the minor key
Oh, rock it
Oh, rock it
Oh, rock it
Oh, rock it
Oh, rock it
Say won't you rock it for me?
