Lyrics:
My momma told me she don’t like that rock and roll
I said, “Momma, rock and roll is good for your soul”
I don’t want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
‘Cause I get that feeling every time I hear the blues

Rock and roll has got the beat
That keeps you alive
And everybody’s rocking from eight to eighty-five
I don’t want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
‘Cause I get that feeling every time I hear the blues

I’m gonna do my homework
I’m gonna clean the yard everyday
Yes, I’ll help you wash the dishes
I’ll do anything that you say

Now, you said rock and roll would soon fade away
No matter what you say, rock and roll is here to stay
I don’t want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
‘Cause I get that feeling every time I hear the blues

They said that rock and roll would fade away
No matter what they say, rock and roll is here to stay
I don’t want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
So please don’t make me hang up my rock and roll shoes
