R-O-C-K

R, O, C, K

R, O, C, K, rock

Take an R from an eight to the bar 88

O from the tone of the sax syncopated

C from the key of the six-string guitar

K from the kick of the rim shot beater

That's how they made it, that's how they played it

R-O-C-K, rock

I know my A's, and my B's, and my C's

P's and my Q's and my X, Y, ZZ's

Know, how to lose all the blue, blue, blues

Jump in a pair of my dancing shoes

Take with my baby, rock with my baby

R-O-C-K, rock

Oh, Strauss discovered waltzes

The handy man found the blues

And Haley came along with the rocking song

Crazy man, crazy, crazy news

R is all the rock, here's the band, it's a moving

O more an act, it's a go, go, grooving

C what I mean is a heart attack action

K like a kiss is a cool attraction

Ooh, it'll getcha, I'm gonna betcha

R-O-C-K, rock

R, O, C, K

R, O, C, K rock

Oh, Strauss discovered waltzes

The Handy man found the blues

And Haley came along with the rocking song

Crazy man, crazy, crazy news

R is all the rock, here's the band, it's a moving

O more an act, it's a go, go, grooving

C what I mean is a heart attack action

K like a kiss is a cool attraction

Ooh, it'll getcha, I'm gonna betcha

R-O-C-K, rock
