Shoo bop, shoo bop
Shoo bop, shoo bop
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 wanna
(Shoo bop, shoo bop)
Hang up my rock and roll shoes
(Shoo bop, shoo bop)
You know I get that feeling
Every time I hear those blues
(Shoo bop, shoo bop)
That music got a beat
That will keep you alive
The kids are rock and rolling
From eight to twenty-five
I don't wanna
(Shoo bop, shoo bop)
Hang up my rock and roll shoes
(Shoo bop, shoo bop)
'Cause I get that feeling
Every time I hear those blues
(Shoo bop, shoo bop)
Yes, I will do my homework
Clean the yard every day
Yes, I will wash 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 wanna
(Shoo bop, shoo bop)
Hang up my rock and roll shoes
(Shoo bop, shoo bop)
Because my feet start moving
Every time I hear those blues
(Shoo bop, shoo bop)
(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 wanna
(Shoo bop, shoo bop)
Hang up my rock and roll shoes
(Shoo bop, shoo bop)
Because I get that feeling
Every time I hear those blues
(Shoo bop, shoo bop)
Because my feet start moving
Every time I hear those blues
(Shoo bop, shoo bop)
(Shoo bop, shoo bop)
