Rock And Roll

Jenny said when she was just five years old
There was nothin' happenin' at all
Every time she puts on a radio
There was nothin' goin' down at all, not at all
Then one fine mornin' she puts on a New York station
You know, she don't believe what she heard at all
She started shakin' to that fine fine music
You know her life was saved by rock 'n' roll
Despite all the amputations you know you could just go out
And dance to the rock 'n' roll station
It was alright, hey baby (it was alright)
You know it was alright (it was alright)
Jenny said when she was just bout five years old
You know my parents are gonna be the death of us all
Two TV sets and two Cadillac cars
Well you know it ain't gonna help me at all
Not just a little tiny bit
Then one fine mornin' she turns on a New York station
She doesn't believe what she hears at all
Oh, she started dancin' to that fine fine music
You know her life is saved by rock 'n' roll
Yeah, rock n' roll
Despite all the computations
You could just dance to that rock 'n' roll station
And baby, it was alright (it was alright)
Hey, it was alright (it was alright)
Hey, here she comes now!
Jump! Jump!
Like Jenny said when she was just bout' five years old
Hey, you know there's nothin' happenin' at all, not at all
Every time I put on the radio
You know there's nothin' goin' down at all, not at all
But one fine mornin' she hears a New York station
She doesn't believe what she heard at all, hey, not at all
She started dancin' to that fine fine music
You know her life was saved by rock 'n' roll
Yeah, rock 'n' roll
Oh, despite all the computations
You know you could just dance to the rock 'n' roll station
Alright, alright
And it was alright
Hey, listen to me now, and it was alright
Come on now, believe me, it was allright
It was alright
Hey, it was alright (alright)
It's alright (alright)
Hey, it's alright now (alright)
Hey, it's alright now (alright)
It's alright now (alright)
It's alright now (alright)
Hey, it's alright now (alright)
Baby it's alright now
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby (alright, alright, alright)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (alright, alright, alright)
It's alright, now (alright)
Ooh, it's alright now (alright)
Oh, oh, alright now (alright)
