Mama, she done told me   She didn't like this rock and roll   But mama, mama, please   Mama, you just don't know   I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes    I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes   I get an old time feeling   Every time I hear the blues      They told me, "Get a job   And set yourself a goal"   But can't they understand   I just want to rock and roll   I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes    I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes   Something happens to me   Every time I hear the blues      I will do my homework   I'll clean the yard every day   I will even do the dishes   I'll do anything you say      That say that rock and roll   It'll soon fade away   But I just want to tell you   Rock and roll is here to stay   I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes    I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes   I get a good time feeling   Every time I hear the blues      Some might even say   It put the devil in my soul   But that's a bunch of shit   I just want to rock and roll   I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes    I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes   My feets got to move now   Every time I hear the blues
