She was just sixteen and all alone

When I came to be

So we grew up together

My mamma tellin' me

The things were better, she was scared

But whenever I would cry

She calmed my fears and dried my tears

With a rock and roll lullaby



And she sings shanna, na na... you'll be alright

Shanna, na na, na na... just hold on tight

Sing it to me mamma, sing it sweet and clear

Oh, mamma, I can hear that old rock and roll lullaby



Now we made it through the lonely days

But loving eyes were long

And the dreamer better moments

When mamma sang a song

Now I recall the words at all

They don't mean sense to try

'Cause I knew lots of love came through

In that rock and roll lullaby



And she sings shanna, na na... you'll be alright

Shanna, na na, na na... just hold on tight

I can hear you mamma, nothing move my soul

Like the sound of the good rock and roll lullaby
