Rock n roll is good time music
Rock n roll is good time music

Mama said be a doctor son
But a voice said follow the music
Papa said be a lawyer boy
But a voice said follow the mu'
'cause you know you're not doin for the money
You're doin it just for the thrills
You don't do it for money, boy
So thank the lord rock keeps payin the bills

Rock n roll is good time music
(repeat twice)

You may think that life aint no laughing matter
And go right on a talkin all your intellectual chatter
Well all that jivin, it ain't true
So let's just push on through
Rock n roll to stay alive
Rock n roll will survive

Sneakin monica out after the prom
You know i didn't get her back, people
'till just before dawn
Outside we were creepin
Inside everyone was sleepin
Goodness gracious!
That's rock n roll!

Rock n roll is good time music
(repeat three times)
