Lyrics
Gimme That Rock N' Roll
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You can keep your classical music
You can stuff your rhythm and blues
And you know what you can do with your Dixieland to
You can stick it anyplace you chose.
Just give me that rock 'n roll
All I want is that rock 'n roll
Just give me that rock 'n roll
All I want is that rock 'n roll
Take me back home and I'll be up 'til seven
I don't want to stay in Hell take me back to Heaven
Back to rock 'n roll.
Don't give me no high classed opera
Give me music with some drive
And I just can't take an old swan lake
I want to feel like I'm still alive
Just give me that rock 'n roll
All I want is that rock 'n roll
Just give me that rock 'n roll
All I want is that rock 'n roll
Take me back home and I'll be up 'til seven
I don't want to stay in hell take me back to Heaven
Back to rock 'n roll.
(Guitar Solo)
Don't give me no boogie woogie
I don't like big bands that swing
All I want to hear is that rock 'n roll
I learned that kind of thing.
Just give me that rock 'n roll
All I want is that rock 'n roll
Just give me that rock 'n roll
All I want is that rock 'n roll
Take me back home and I'll be up 'til seven
I don't want to stay in hell take me back to Heaven
Back to rock 'n roll.
