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

 Ah ..feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your soul

Come along with me, to a land of make believe

 She said wamalama bamalama, rock 'n' roll is king

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

 That's all she ever tells me when I call her on the telephone

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

 She said wamalama bamalama, rock 'n' roll is king

Break

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 comin' on down the track

 She rolled over Beethoven and she gave Tchaikovsky back

 Ah. .she loves that drivin' beat, she goes dancin' on down the street

 She said wamalama bamalama, 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 . . when she comes around and I'm 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 said wamalama bamalama, rock 'n' roll is king

 Ah ah. . .wamalama bamalama, rock 'n' roll is king

 Ooo yeah. . .wamalama bamalama, rock 'n' roll is king

 She said wamalama bamalama, rock 'n' roll is king
