Lyrics:
This may be shockin’ but I got some rockin’ to do
If you can stand it, I’m ready to hand it to you
I’ll have a story to tell you before we are through
You better listen or you may be missin’
A real good bet, I’ll get you yet
I’m here tellin’ you:
I ain’t a bit picky, I ain’t a bit tricky
Don’t wanna live on a particular street
I wanna be rowdy, I wanna say “Howdy”
I wanna get right up and show you the beat
Of the Little Rock rhythm
And the Little Rock roll
I never could rumba, I never could samba
I never could figure the critters who did
‘Cause when I go steppin’, I got a new weapon
I got a good reason for poppin’ my lid
With the Little Rock rhythm
And the Little Rock roll
Go rolly-oh, rolly-oh, rolly-oh, rolly around it
If they ask you ‘bout it
Please tell ‘em where you found it
I never seen college, I never know’d knowledge
I never been aimin’ to have a career
But when I start givin’ the sermon on livin’
Before I get finished you’ll know I’ve been here
With the Little Rock rhythm
And the Little Rock roll
I ain’t the right body for lotty-da-dotty
For walkin’ a poodle or drinkin’ champagne
Don’t were them bikinis or guzzle martinis
I’m just a plain gal and a regular Jane
With the Little Rock rhythm
And the Little Rock roll
Go rolly-oh, rolly-oh, rolly-oh, rolly around it
If they ask you about it
Please tell ‘em where you found it
I never been messin’ with city type dressin’
I’m ready for action in any ole togs
I ain’t a bit choosy, I ain’t a chanteuse
I’m trainin’ my voice just for callin’ out hogs
With the Little Rock rhythm
And the Little Rock roll
The Little Rock rhythm
The Little Rock rhythm
The Little Rock rhythm
And the Little Rock roll
