Song title: I don't want to hang up my rock'n'roll shoes
(Willis) by Chuck Willis (Atlantic 1179), 1956
I don't want to hang up my rock'n'roll shoes
My mama told me she didn't like that rock and roll
I said, "Please, Mama, please, Mama you just don't know I don't want
hang up my rock and roll shoes"
You know I get that feelin' ev'ry time I hear those blues
That music's got a beat that will keep you alive
The kids are rock and rollin' from 8 to 25
I don't want hang up my rock and roll shoes
Because I get that feelin' ev'ry time I hear those blues
Yes, I will do my homework
Clean the yard ev'ry day
Yes, I will wipe those dishes
I'll do anything you say
They say that rock and roll will soon fade away
No matter what they say, rock and roll is here to stay
I don't want hang up my rock and roll shoes
because my feet start movin' ev'ry time I hear those blues
Let's rock!
Let's roll!
They say that rock and roll will soon fade away
No matter what they say, rock and roll is here to stay
I don't want(shoop-bop, shoop-bop) hang up my rock and roll shoes
because I get that feelin' ev'ry time I hear those blues
because my feet start movin' ev'ry time I hear those blues<
