Once upon a time
not so very long ago
There wasnât such a thing
as a rock ân roll show
You had to sit at home
and listen to the radio
Then came a man
with a rockinâ guitar
Found himself a beat and
he played it near and far
Everybody danced and sang
and let the good times roll
Again again again again
again again again again
Why donât you do it
Why donât you do it again
Again again again again
again again again again
Why donât you do it
Why donât you do it again
He travelled round the
world in a rock ân roll band
He stood there like a giant
with a guitar in his hand
Everybody danced and sang
and let the good times roll
Nobody cared about the
clothes he would wear
Nobody cared about the
colour of his hair
Everybody came to see
and let the good times roll
Again again again again
again again again again
Why donât you do it
Why donât you do it again
Again again again again
again again again again
Why donât you do it
Why donât you do it again
Now weâve got the rhythm
in us now weâve got the rock
Time didnât matter
never living by the clock
Everybody came to hear
him play his rock ân roll
Then came a line when
the music didnât rhyme
He couldnât find the rhyme
âcos he couldnât find the time
But still the people came to
listen to the good times roll
Again again again again
again again again again
Why donât you do it
Why donât you do it again
Again again again again
again again again again
Why donât you do it
Why donât you do it again
Again again again again
again again again again
Why donât you do it
Why donât you do it again
Why donât you do it
Why donât you do it again
