Well, listen, everybody, let me tell you ′bout the rock 'n′ roll

Oh, feel that rhythm, and it's really gonna thrill your soul

Mmm, come along with me to a land of make-believeShe said, "Wa-ma-la-ma, ba-ma-la-ma rock 'n′ roll is king"

She loves that rock ′n' roll, and she plays it all night long

Oh, that′s all she ever tells me when I call her on the telephone

She says to feel that jumpin' beat, and a-get up on your feet

She says, "A-wa-ma-la-ma, ba-ma-la-ma, rock ′n' roll is king"

Oh, let those guitars play

Play for me, play for me

Oh, let that song ring out

That′s how it's meant to be

Well, it rolls like a train that's a-comin′ on down the track

She rolled over Beethoven, and she gave Tchaikovsky back

Oh, she loves that drivin′ beat, she goes dancin' on down the street

She said, "Wa-ma-la-ma, ba-ma-la-ma, rock ′n' roll is king"

Oh, rock on

Oh, let those guitars play

Play for me, play for me

Oh, let that song ring out

That′s how it's meant to be

Well, when she comes around, and I′m a-listenin' to the radio

She says, "You can't do that, ′cause all I wanna do is rock ′n' roll"

Now here I′m gonna stay where that music starts to play

She says, "Wa-ma-la-ma, ba-ma-la-ma, rock 'n′ roll is king"

Oh, yeah, wa-ma-la-ma, ba-ma-la-ma, rock 'n′ roll is king

Uh, huh, wa-ma-la-ma, ba-ma-la-ma, rock 'n' roll is king

Ooh-yeah, wa-ma-la-ma, ba-ma-la-ma, rock ′n′ roll is king

She said, "Wa-ma-la-ma ba-ma-la-ma, rock 'n′ roll is king"
