When ricky was young   He picked up the steel guitar   And feelin' the heat   He picked up the beat   And overnight became a star   Leaving a trail of glory and gold   He ran out of time before he got old   He's still alive in my soul      And he's rockin' the night away   And all the angels came out to play   Let's do the rock, rock, rock   Roll, roll, roll tonight      And he's rockin' the night away   And mary lou, she is here to stay   Let's do the rock 'n' roll tonight   And feel alright      If elvis were here   He'd know how to shake the night   He'd make you move   Get into the groove   Dancin' till the morning light   And buddy could sing   Otis had everything   Jimmy was loud   He made us so proud   They're still alive with us tonight      And he's rockin' the night away   And all the angels came out to play   Let's do the rock, rock, rock   Roll, roll, roll tonight      And he's rockin' the night away   And peggy sue, she is here to stay   Let's do the rock 'n' roll tonight   And feel alright      Let's do the rock   Let's do the rock   Let's do the rock   And feel alright
