She was just sixteen and all alone

When I came to be

So we grew up together

My mama child and me

Now things were bad and she was scared

But whenever I would cry

She'd calm my fears and dry my tears

With a rock and roll lullaby



And she would sing sha na na na na na na na ...

It will be all right sha na na na na na....

Sha na na na na na na na ...

Now just hold on tight



Sing it to me mama (mama mama ma)

Sing it sweet and clear, oh!

Mama let me hear that old rock and roll lullaby



We made it through the lonely days

But Lord the nights were long

And we’d dream of better moments

When mama sang her song

Now I can't recall the words at all

It don't make sense to try

'Cause I just knew lots of love came thru

In that rock and roll lullaby
