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
He`s still alive in my soul
And he`s rockin` the night away
And all the angels came out to play
Let`s do the rock, rock, rock
Roll, roll, roll tonight
And he`s rockin` the night away
And Mary Lou, she is here to stay
Let`s do the rock `n` roll tonight
And feel alright
If Elvis were here
He`d know how to shake the night
He`d 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
They`re still alive with us tonight
And he`s rockin` the night away
And all the angels came out to play
Let`s do the rock, rock, rock
Roll, roll, roll tonight
And he`s rockin` the night away
And Peggy Sue, she is here to stay
Let`s do the rock `n` roll tonight
And feel alright
Let`s do the rock
Let`s do the rock
Let`s do the rock
And feel alright
