When I was just a lad, my father sat me down   He said, there's two things in life you gotta know   If you live fast son, you're surely die young   And there's only ten ways you can rock an' roll      Well, it's one, you can do the bop   Two, at the school sock hop   Three, we're gonna drive real far   Four, in the kitty cat car   Five, turn off the light   Grab hold of your baby, let's rock tonight      Well, there's one, two, three, don't stop   Four, five, six, to blow your top   Seven, eight, nine, oh man alive   Ten ways to rock tonight, rock!      Well, it's six, slip on your blue jeans   Seven, slick your hair back mean   My baby, she got the quick-step blues tonight   Sportin' high heel shoes   Ten, hits on the dance floor   Dig that rockabilly music some more      Well, it's a-one, two, three, don't stop   Four, five, six, to blow her top   Seven, eight, nine, oh man alive   Ten ways to rock tonight, go!      Well, it's one, you can do the bop   Two, at the school sock hop   Three, we're gonna drive real far   Four, in the kitty cat car   Five, turn off the lights   Grab hold of your baby, let's rock tonight      Well, it's six, slip on your blue jeans   Seven, slick your hair back mean   My baby, she got the two-step blues tonight   Sportin' high heel shoes   Ten, git on that dance floor   And dig that rockabilly music some more      Well, it's a-one, two, three, don't stop   Four, five, six, to blow her top   Seven, eight, nine, oh man alive   Ten ways to rock tonight      Well now, it's a-one, two, three, don't stop   Four, five, six, to blow your top   Seven, eight, nine, oh man alive   Ten ways to rock tonight
