So what if a-wop-bop-a loo-bam boom didn't rhyme

Billy Haley and the Comets drove me to the prom in time

A Little Richard goes a long long way

More than twenty long years to this day

Rock of ages roll away rock away roll away



We were dancin' in the streets and shapin' our lives in school

When we were simply thirteen, God saved the queen in Liverpool

A mop top mersey goes a long long way

More than ten long years to this day

Rock of ages roll away rock away roll away



Three plays for a quarter is ancient history now

But the Stones roll away and rock that juke box till

Satisfaction goes a long long way

Much more than five long years to this day

Rock of ages roll away rock away roll away

A Little Richard goes a long long way

More than twenty long years to this day

Rock of ages roll away rock away roll away
