Just Another Name For Rock And 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.
Well you can act like a monkey, shake your hands do the limbo till you can't stand,
Well you can mash your potata, hippy hippy shake, but the beats' still wild and your feet still ache
I say it's just another name for rock and roll everybody, everybody sing
It's just another name for rock and roll, rock and roll
Well you can do the duck, walk your dog down the street, loop the loop to a swingin beat,
You can twist and shout and do the stomp, a chase a chicken on a pony romp ah but
It's just another name for rock and roll everybody, everybody sing,
It's just another name for rock and roll, rock and roll
Well they all try to shake it another way, but they rock, they roll just the same
They only call it by another name and I don't care what they say, woah,oh,oh
Down in the jungle where the tree tops are steep, they get the fever for a bongo beat,
They do the ubangie stomp, the safari hop, do the monkey until they drop
Ah but it's just another name for rock and roll everybody,everybody sing
It's just another name for rock and roll, everybody,everybody sing
It's just another name for rock and roll everybody,everybody sing.......
