(shoop-bop, shoop-bop)

(shoop-bop, shoop-bop)



My mama told me she didn't like that rock and roll

I said, "Please, Mama, please, Mama you just don't know I don't want

(shoop-bop, shoop-bop) hang up my rock and roll shoes"

You know I get that feelin' ev'ry time I hear those blues

shoop-bop, shoop-bop)



That music's got a beat that will keep you alive

The kids are rock and rollin' from 8 to 25

I don't want (shoop-bop, shoop-bop) hang up my rock and roll shoes

Because I get that feelin' ev'ry time I hear those blues

shoop-bop, shoop-bop)



Yes, I will do my homework

Clean the yard ev'ry day

Yes, I will wipe those dishes

I'll do anything you say



They say that rock and roll will soon fade away

No matter what they say, rock and roll is here to stay

I don't want(shoop-bop, shoop-bop) hang up my rock and roll shoes

(shoop-bop, shoop-bop)because my feet start movin' ev'ry time I hear those blues

(shoop-bop, shoop-bop)



: Let's rock!



: Let's roll!



They say that rock and roll will soon fade away

No matter what they say, rock and roll is here to stay

I don't want(shoop-bop, shoop-bop) hang up my rock and roll shoes

(shoop-bop, shoop-bop) because I get that feelin' ev'ry time I hear those blues

(shoop-bop, shoop-bop)because my feet start movin' ev'ry time I hear those blues

(shoop-bop, shoop-bop)

(shoop-bop, shoop-bop)



(shoop-bop, shoop-bop
