Lyrics

[Verse 1] I heard it came to town A new kind of rhythm Spread around Sort of set you sizzlin' Now I'm all through with symphony Oh, rock it for me Every night You'll see all the nifties Plenty tight Swingin' down the fifties Now they're all through with symphony Ho-ho-ho, rock it for me [Bridge] Now it's true that once upon a time The opera was the thing But today the rage is rhythm and rhyme So won't you satisfy my soul With the rock and roll? [Verse 2] You can't be tame While the band is playin' It ain't no shame To keep your body swayin' Beat it out in the minor key Ho-ho-ho, rock it for me [Bridge] Can't you hear me singin', la-la-la-la-la While the band is swingin' Oh, Chick Webb's sockin' And the band is rockin' So send me lightly, politely Brightly, and slightly Ho-ho-ho, rock it for me [Interlude] Now I'm all through with this stuff they call symphony Come on, boys, and sorta rock it for me Why, even all the nifties, they don't wanna hear any more symphony I'm tellin' you, Jack, you better get hip to yourself and rock it for me [Bridge] It's true that once upon a time The opera was the thing But today the rage is rhythm and rhyme So won't you satisfy my soul With the rock and roll? [Outro] You can't be tame While the band is playin' It ain't no shame To keep your body swayin' They beat it out in the minor key Oh, rock it Oh, rock it Say, won't you rock it for me?
