MY OWN WAY TO ROCK - Burton Cummings
Revving up my engine
Like a 747, mama, shiny lanky long and lean
And I`m mean
Revving up my engine baby
Like a 747, lover, shiny lanky long and lean
What a scene
I`m going to take my silver dollar
Change it into quarters, shove `em in the record machine
Uh uh huh!
Baby said she loved me
Then she went and left me, causing such an awful scene
What a scene
Baby said she needed me, you know
But then she went and left me, causing such an awful sce-ee-ene
What a scee-ee-ee-ene, yeah-ee-yeah
Take my silver dollar
Change it into quarters, shove `em in the record machine
Yes!
`Cause I got my own way to rock
I got my own way to roll
And when you`re walking that walk
It`s good for your soul
You know I`m singing about
My own way to rock
I got my own way to roll
And when you`re walking that walk
It`s good for your soul

Revving up my engine baby
Like a 747, lover, shiny lanky long and lean
What a scene, hey!
Revving up my engine baby
Like a 747, lover, shiny lanky long and lea-ea-ean
What a sce-ee-ene, yeah-ee-yeah
Take my silver dollar
Change it into quarters, gonna shove `em in the record machine
Uh huh!
`Cause I got my own way to rock
I got my own way to roll
And when you`re walking that walk
It`s good for your soul
Hear me lawdy mama
Got my own way to rock
I got my own way to roll
And when you`re walking that walk
It`s good for your soul
Be bop a-lula baby!
Wake up little Susie
Yes it`s me, and I`m in love again
Come on over, got a whole lot of shaking
Well I like it like that, yeah!
