A-let's rock baby, right away
An' listen to me like you know you should
Now let's rock (oh yeah) while the rockin's good
Let's dance baby baby, let's hop
A-clap your hands an' do the new style bop
A-let's mambo to the bongo drums
A-do the cha-cha it's a lot of fun
A-listen to me like you know you should
Now let's rock (oh yeah) while the rock is good
A-while we're young an' a-spring is sprung
Let's go moonlight strollin'
'Cause once you're old an' your blood gets cold
Say, no more rockin' an-a rollin'
Let's swing, baby baby, let's shout
An tell the old folks what it's all about
A-don't wait 'till your bones are stiff
C'mon an' give your little heart a lift
Listen to me like you know you should
Now let's rock (oh yeah) while the rock is good

Bop-bop, do-wop-bop
Rock, rock, rock-rock-rock
Rock, rock, do-wop-bop
Say, while we're young an' spring is sprung
Let's go moonlight strollin'
'Cause once you're old an' your blood gets cold
Say, no more rockin' an-a rollin'
Let's sing, baby baby, let's shout
A-tell the old folks what it's all about
A-don't wait 'till your bones are stiff
C'mon an' give your little heart a lift
