What’s with the blues, oh baby
What can you lose, or maybe
You have forgotten how to dance

Hey, that’s a sin, you know that
You could’a been the best damn
Rock ‘N’ Roll queen throughout the land

Remember when we used to lay down steps
All the cats would swear we had the greatest reps
Bopping into bandstand in our newest threads
Greetings, salutations brothers, sisters
It’s vacation because

Great Rock ‘N’ Roll
Is buried deep in your soul
And when the jukebox starts to play
We’ll dance away, little mama now

Dance while you can
Let’s flash those feet like they’re gems
Let’s spin around off the ground
To that sound, sweet sound

And when the city summer gets too dull
Bopping into Wildwood, gonna’ wreck our souls
Dancing in the Starlight ‘til the morning light
Greetings, salutations brothers, sisters
It’s vacation because

Great Rock ‘N’ Roll
Is buried deep in your soul
And when the jukebox starts to play
We’ll dance away. little mama now

Memory lane
Will take us, I’ll lead the way
Kick off the dust from your shoes
And let’s dance, mama, mama, let’s dance

Was there a dance
We didn’t know
I don’t think so
Unless it’s slow
And then who cares
If you can’t tear
Across the floor within the room
As if your feet ain’t touching earth
Because the only thing that means a thing
Is all the joy the music brings and

Great Rock ‘N’ Roll
Is buried deep in your soul
And when the jukebox starts to play
We’ll dance away, little mama now

Nobody knew
What new steps we’d launch into
They’d watch and envy the moves
That we’d go through, go through
Mama, mama, go through

You wanna’ hear another story
When Rock ‘N’ Roll was in its glory
You need a beat
Just like this beat
There was a man
Who had a band
He tapped his foot
You know they should
And all the kids
Would check him out
‘Cause when he screamed into that mike
It was enough to wake your parents up
Enough to make the ballroom spin
Enough to make you shake that thing

Great Rock ‘N’ Roll
Is buried deep in your soul
And when the jukebox starts to play
We’ll dance away, little mama now

Great Rock ‘N’ Roll
Is buried deep in your soul
And when the jukebox starts to play
We’ll dance away, we’ll dance away

We’ll dance away
Rock and Roll, my baby
Great Rock ‘N’ Roll, my baby
Great Rock ‘N’ Roll, my baby
Great Rock ‘N’ Roll, my baby.
