Rock It For Me (feat. Chick Webb and His Orchestra)

Thank you I heard it came to town A new kind of rhythm Spread around Sort of set you sizzlin' Now I'm all through with symphonies Oh, rock it for me Every night You'll see all the nifties Plenty tight Swingin' down the '50s Now they're all through with symphonies Oh, rock it for me 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? 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 for me Can't you hear loose singin'? Oh, that Lou is swingin' Say Herbie's rockin' And 'cause it's sucking So send me lightly, politely and brightly and slightly Oh, rock it for me Yes, 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? 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-oh, rock it Oh-oh, rock it Oh-oh, rock it Oh-oh, rock it Oh-oh, rock it Say, won't you rock it for me? Thank you Thank you, ladies and gentlemen
