Intro: E7 

                             A 
Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music, any old way you choose it 
          D                             A 
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it, any old time you use it 
E                                                    A 
Gotta be rock and roll music, if you wanna dance with me 
E                      A 
If you wanna dance with me 

verse 1 
                   E                                      A 
Got no kick against modern jazz unless they try to play it too darn fast 
                          D                                   E 
And lose the beauty of the melody until they sound just like a symphony 

                        A 
That's why I go for that rock and roll music, any old way you choose it 
          D                             A 
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it, any old way you use it 
    E                                                     A 
It's gotta be rock and roll music, if you wanna dance with me 
E                      A 
If you wanna dance with me 

verse 2 
                          E                                        A 
I took my loved one over across the tracks so she can hear my man awail a sax 
                        D                                           E 
I must admit they have a rocking band, man, they were blowing like a hurricane 

                   A 
That's why I go for that rock and roll music, any old way you choose it 
          D                             A 
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it, any old time you use it 
E                                                    A 
Gotta be rock and roll music, if you wanna dance with me 
E                      A 
If you wanna dance with me 

verse 3 
                         E                                   A 
Way down South they had a jubilee, the jokey folks they had a jamboree 
                                 D                                      E 
They're drinking home brew from a water cup, the folks dancing there are all shook up 
 
                        A 
And started playing that rock and roll music, any old way you choose it 
          D                             A 
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it, any old time you use it 
E                                                    A 
Gotta be rock and roll music, if you wanna dance with me 
E                      A 
If you wanna dance with me 

verse 4 
                              E                                 A 
Don't care to hear them play a tango and In The Mood they take a mambo 
                        D                            E 
It's way too early for a congo so keep a rocking that piano 

                        A 
That's why I go for that rock and roll music, any old way you choose it 
          D                             A 
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it, any old time you use it 
E                                                    A 
Gotta be rock and roll music, if you wanna dance with me 
E                      A 
If you wanna dance with me
