R-O-C-K Lyrics

Written by: Bill Haley, Rusty Keefer
1956-16

R-O-C-K
R-O-C-K, rock
Make an R from an eight
To the bar eighty-eight
O from the tone of
The sax syncopated

C from the key of
A six string leader
K from the kick of
A rim shot meter

That's how they made it
That's how they played it
R-O-C-K, rock

I know my A's
And my B's and my C's
P's and my Q's
And my X-Y-Z-Z

Know how to lose
All the blue, blue bluesys
Jump in a pair of
My dancing shoesies

Date with my baby
Rock with my baby
R-O-C-K, rock
Oh, Strauss discovered waltzes
The handy man found the blues
And here they came along
With a rocking song

Crazy, man, crazy
Crazy news

R, we were hot
Hear the band, it's moving
O, more than that
It's go, go, grooving

C, what I mean
It's a hot time action
K, like a kiss
It's a cool attraction

Ooh, it'll getcha
I'm gonna betcha
R-O-C-K, rock
R-O-C-K
R-O-C-K, rock

Oh, Strauss discovered waltzes
The handy man found the blues
And here they came along
With a rocking song

Crazy, man, crazy
Crazy news

R, we were hot
Hear the band, it's moving
O, more than that
It's go, go, grooving

C, what I mean
It's a hot time action
K, like a kiss
It's a cool attraction

Ooh, it'll getcha
I'm gonna betcha
R-O-C-K, rock
