Rock It for Me (live 1961/Berlin)

Thank you

I heard it came to town
A new kind of rhythm
Spread around
Sort of set you sizzlin'
Now I'm all through with symphony
Oh, rock it for me

Every night
You'll see all the nifties
Plenty tight swingin' down the fifties
Now they're all through with symphony
Oh, rock it for me

It's true that once upon a time
The opera was the thing
But today the rage is rhythm and rhyme
So won't you satisfy my soul
With the rock and roll?

You can't be tame
While the band is playin'
It ain't no shame
To keep your body swayin'
They beat it out in the minor key
Oh, rock it for me

Can't you hear blue singin'
Oh that louvie is swingin'
Say herbies rockin'
And the gossip suckin'

So send me lightly, politely
And rightly and slightly
Oh, rock it for me

Yes, it's true that once upon a time
The opera was the thing
But today the rage is rhythm and rhyme
So won't you satisfy my soul
With the rock and roll?

You can't be tame
While the band is playin'
It ain't no shame
To keep your body swayin'
Beat it out in the minor key

Oh rock it, oh rock it
Oh rock it, oh rock it
Oh rock it, oh rock it
Say won't you rock it for me

Thank you
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen
