Let me tell you young ones about a thing I know
It occurred to me some years ago
It's about a thing that can't be beaten
And I know he would surely knock you of your feet
What I'm on about is an old time dance
Done to amuse that don't seem to stand a chance in this
Modern world of fashion and technic
This poor creature is really getting weak
Still nobody seemed to care
No one but us (me), and that's why we're (I'm) here
These days everybody, is playing rock but ain't nobody seems to roll
And if you wanna move me down in my soul, it's gotta be both Rock 'N' Roll
It's gotta be Rock 'N' Roll
When Mr. Rock first met Mr. Roll
Long time ago back in the days of old
They both believed that they were gonna last
So they kept love simple and just let it blast
But somewhere along the line Mr. Roll got displaced
That to me is a real disgrace
That's like taking the wheels of a car or,
Separate the strings from a guitar
Now Rock still went fine even though they're apart
But poor Mr. Roll is missing on the chart
These days everybody, is playing rock but ain't nobody seems to roll
And if you wanna move me down in my soul, it's gotta be both Rock 'N' Roll
It's gotta be Rock 'N' Roll
Rock it Robin... (Guitar Solo)
Turn on the radio and lend me your ear
Rock you will find but Roll you won't hear
Go on down to your record store
They'll tell you sorry we don't sell that no more
Seems like we're supporting an old dying breed but
Just a little attention that's what we need
'Cause once you've heart that it's got that swing
You'll realise that it beats everything
So listen everybody to an emergency call
From poor old Roll who's bound and falln
These days everybody, is playing rock but ain't nobody seems to roll
And if you wanna move me down in my soul, it's gotta be both Rock 'N' Roll
It's gotta be Rock 'N' Roll
