Rock And Roll Music

Not to be outdone by the young pups of history, hee we have Etta James and Chuck Berry, and you can find others such as Keith Richards, chiming in on stage to kick out this old Berry standard—Rock And Roll Music.

James was born in Waltham Chase, Southampton to an unmarried 16-year-old black mother, Dorothy Hawkins. She claimed that her mother told her that her father was the white Rudolph "Minnesota Fats" Wanderone, and that they received financial support from him on the condition that they keep his paternity a secret.



[ Lyrics: Rock And Roll Music by Chuck Berry ]

Just let me hear some of that
Rock and roll music,
Any old way you choose it;
Its got a back beat, you cant lose it,
Any old time you use it.
Its gotta be rock and roll music,
If you want to dance with me,
If you want to dance with me.

Ive got no kick againt modern jazz,
Unless they try to play it too darn fast;
And change the beauty of the melody,
Until they sounded like a symphony,
Thats why I go for that
Rock and roll music ...

I took my loved one over cross the tracks
So she can hear my man await a sax,
I must admit the have a rockin band,
Man they were going like a hurricane
Thats why I go for that
Rock and roll music .....

Way down south they gave a jubilee,
The jockey folks they had a jamboree,
Theyre drinkin homebrew from a water cup,
The folks dancin they all got shook up
And started playin that
Rock and roll music ....

Dont care to hear em play a tango,
Im in the mood to dig a mambo;
Its way to early for a congo,
So keep a rockin that piano
So I can hear some of that
Rock and roll music ...
