Rock and Roll Music [Palais des Sports, 1965, (afternoon)] Songtext
von The Beatles

Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It′s got a black beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
Gotta be rock-roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

I′ve got no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And lose the beauty of the melody
Until it sounds just like a symphony

That's why I go for that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a black beat, you can′t lose it
Any old time you use it
It′s gotta be rock-roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me


I took my love on over 'cross the tracks
So she can hear my man awail a sax
I must admit they had a rockin′ band
Man, they were blowin' like a hurricane

That′s why I go for that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a black beat, you can′t lose it
Any old time you use it
Gotta be rock-roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

Way down South they had a jubilee
Them Georgia folks they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' home brew from a wooden cup
The folks are dancin′ and got all shoke up

And started playin′ that that rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It's got a black beat, you can′t lose it
Any old time you use it
Gotta be rock-roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me


Don't care to hear′em play a tango
I'm in the mood to take a mambo
It′s way too early for a Congo
So keep a-rockin' that piano

That's why I go for that rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It′s got a black beat, you can′t lose it
Any old time you use it
All I got is rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
