Wooh!
Ooh, yeah!
Comon'!
First time I heard the music
I thought it was my own
I could feel it in my heartbeat
I could feel it in my bones
My momma thinks I'm crazy
Dad says I'm insane
I got this boogie woogie fever
Burning in my veins
They took me to a doctor
But it's too late for me
They dragged me to a preacher
That they saw on their TV
Who said that for a small donation
My lost soul would be saved
I said I don't think so preacher
I'll come back another day
All I want, is to be a Rolling Stone
They don't understand what we all know
It feels so good that it ought to be illegal
I got my vaccination from a phonagraph needle
I'll never grow up and I'll never grow old
Blame it on the love of rock and roll
My teachers didn't like me they always
Tried to put me down
'Cause I wore my hair too long
I played my music way too loud
Every little boy wants to learn to play guitar
So he can pick up all the chicks
And be a rock-n-roll star
They said it won't last, but they misunderstood
If people think it's bad then I'll be bad for good
It feels so good that it ought to be illegal
I got my vaccination from a phonagraph needle
I'll never grow up and I'll never grow old
Blame it on the love of rock and roll
Blame it on the love, blameit on the love
Dad don't understand what the little girls know
Blame it on the love of rock and roll
All I wanted, all I ever needed
My guitar gave to me
Every song I've sung blame it on love
Every war I've won blame it on love
Everything I've done blame it on love
Blame it on the love of rock and roll
It feels so good that it ought to be illegal
I got my vaccination from a phonagraph needle
I'll never grow up and I'll never grow old
Blame it on the love of rock and roll
Blame it on the love, blame it on the love
Dad don't get what the little girls know
Blame it on the love of rock and roll
