Billy on his way to school

Didn't care too much about the teachers and rules

But he had a plan he said he'd try it one day

One he knew would leave them all with nothing to say

He had a friend who said he'd teach him how to rock and roll

After school when he was feelin' good

He'd go home and do the things that he understood

He would rock in the kitchen and roll in the hall

And billy's mother said you got no sense at all

But we know too well that he was

Learning how to rock and roll



'cos he would rock in the kitchen roll in the hall

Stand on the tv and climb up the wall

Jive on the ceiling lay on the floor

Crawl through the bathroom and cry out for more

And that's the only way to do it

When you're learning how to rock and roll

Teach me to rock...



Willy turns to the mirror and gives his hair a flip

He would mime to elvis and curl his lip

Ha ha in the kitchen

Ha ha in the hall

Willy's mother said you got no sense at all

But we know too well that he was

Learning how to rock and roll



'cos he would rock in the kitchen roll in the hall

Stand on the tv and climb up the wall

Jive on the ceiling lay on the floor

Crawl through the bathroom and cry out for more

And that's the only way to do it

When you're learning how to rock and roll

Teach me to rock...



He learnt to rock and roll

And sing the blues

He learnt to head shake

While singing blue suede shoes

He learnt a hand clap

Off the beat

And at the gig he had them out of their seats

It's the only way to do it so long live rock and roll



'cos he would rock in the kitchen roll in the hall

Stand on the tv and climb up the wall

Jive on the ceiling lay on the floor

Crawl through the bathroom and cry out for more

And that's the only way to do it

When you're learning how to rock and roll

Teach me to rock...
