I heard it came to town

A new rhythm and rhyme

Just for around

It's really easy clearly

Now I'm all through with symphony

Oh rock it for me

Every night

You'll see all the nifties

Plenty tight

Swingin' down the fifties

Now they're all through with symphony

Ho 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 the rock and roll

You can't be tame

While the band is playin'

It ain't no shame

To keep your body swayin'

And beat it out in the minor key

Ho rock it for me

Oh rock it 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 the rock and roll

You can't be tame

While the band is playin'

It ain't no shame

To keep your body swayin'

And beat it out in the minor key
