There was an old woman that lived in a shoe

Had so many children, she didn't know what to do

They were doin' all right, till she took 'em to town

The kids started pickin' 'em up and puttin' 'em down

Now all your children wanna rock, mama

All your children wants to roll

They wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop till they pop

All your children wants to rock

Rock now, go!

Well, we're not tryin' to live too fast

And we might as well try to live in class

We better move out before the rent comes due

'Cause we wanna live in a blue suede shoe

All your children wanna rock, mama

All your children wants to roll

Wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop till they pop

All your children want to rock

Now rock, go!

Well, every night when it's quiet and still

You can hear it echoing through the hill

From a blue suede shoe on a mountain top

All of mama's youngens are doin' the bop

All them children wanna rock, mama

All your children wanna roll

They wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop till they pop

All your children wanna rock

Rock, go!

Hey let's rock it!

Well bop!

Well, all your children wanna rock, mama

All your children wanna roll

They wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop till they pop

All them children wants to rock
