Mama knows and papa knows that rock 'n roll is music now.
|
Baby's been cutting his teeth on Bo Diddley's, I'm a man, man,
|
Listen to the Wolfman howl.
|
|
See the white man sailing his ship up on the sea,
|
watch the white man shackle the black man to a tree.
|
To the invader go the fruits of war, he misses home and his boots are sore.
|
He has not got no roots no more, he comes for your gold, watch out for your soul.
|
|
Cause tennis shoes, and rhythm and blues are second generation
|
all across the nation, now, and mama knows, papa too rock 'n roll is music,
|
rock 'n roll is music, now.
|
|
To the invader go the fruits of war, he misses home and his boots are sore.
|
He has not got no roots no more, he comes for your gold, watch out for your soul.
|
|
Mama knows and papa knows that rock 'n roll is music, rock 'n roll is music, now.
