When ricky was young
He picked up the steel guitar
And feelin the heat
He picked up the beat
And overnight became a star
Leaving a trail of glory and gold
He ran out of time before he got old
Hes still alive in my soul
And hes rockin the night away
And all the angels came out to play
Lets do the rock, rock, rock
Roll, roll, roll tonight
And hes rockin the night away
And mary lou, she is here to stay
Lets do the rock n roll tonight
And feel alright
If elvis were here
Hed know how to shake the night
Hed make you move
Get into the groove
Dancin till the morning light
And buddy could sing
Otis had everything
Jimmy was loud
He made us so proud
Theyre still alive with us tonight
And hes rockin the night away
And all the angels came out to play
Lets do the rock, rock, rock
Roll, roll, roll tonight
And hes rockin the night away
And peggy sue, she is here to stay
Lets do the rock n roll tonight
And feel alright
Lets do the rock
Lets do the rock
Lets do the rock
And feel alright
