Mama, she done told me
She didn`t like this rock and roll
But mama, mama, please
Mama, you just don`t know
I don`t want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
I don`t want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
I get an old time feeling
Every time I hear the blues
They told me, Get a job
And set yourself a goal
But can`t they understand
I just want to rock and roll
I don`t want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
I don`t want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
Something happens to me
Every time I hear the blues
I will do my homework
I`ll clean the yard every day
I will even do the dishes
I`ll do anything you say
That say that rock and roll
It`ll soon fade away
But I just want to tell you
Rock and roll is here to stay
I don`t want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
I don`t want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
I get a good time feeling
Every time I hear the blues
Some might even say
It put the devil in my soul
But that`s a bunch of shit
I just want to rock and roll
I don`t want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
I don`t want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
My feets got to move now
Every time I hear the blues
