Lyrics
You Gotta Learn Your Rythm And Blues
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.
The board of education from Maine to Tenessee
Just don't dig that crazy ABC
You know they teach us something different and they call it R &B
Chorus
You gotta learn your rythm and blues
Everybody's shoutin' the news
Go out and buy a pair of rock and roll shoes
Or brother you're gonna lose
The time is incidental, the fun is fundemental
When you learn your rythm and blues
No more readin' and writin' and 'rythmetic
You got to know the three R's when the teacher swings the hickorystick
Start a-reelin' and a-rockin' and a-rollin' with your chick
Chorus
When the teacher gives us homework everyone shouts hooray,hooray
I got to go right home and study without delay
I got to tune into Bandstand and get the lesson for today
Chorus X 2
