Lyrics

[00:11.06] Well, listen everybody, let me tell you 'bout the rock 'n' roll
[00:17.84] Oh, feel that rhythm, and it's really gonna thrill your soul
[00:23.11] Mmm, come along with me to a land of make believe
[00:28.70] She said, "Wama-lama bama-lama - rock 'n' roll is king"
[00:35.42] She loves that rock 'n' roll, and she plays it all night long
[00:41.18] Oh, that's all she ever tells me when I call her on the telephone
[00:47.55] She says, "Feel that jumpin' beat, and a-get up on your feet"
[00:52.93] She says, "Wama-lama bama-lama - rock 'n' roll is king"
[00:59.62] Oh, let those guitars play
[01:02.22] Play for me, play for me
[01:04.60] Oh, let that song ring out
[01:08.38] That's how it's meant to be
[01:13.26] Well, it rolls like a train that's a-comin' on down the track
[01:18.85] She rolled over Beethoven, and she gave Tchaikovsky back
[01:24.11] Oh, she loves that drivin' beat, she goes dancin' on down the street
[01:28.36] She said, "Wama-lama bama-lama - rock 'n' roll is king"
[01:35.91] Oh, rock on!
[02:00.38] Oh, let those guitars play
[02:03.67] Play for me, play for me
[02:06.39] Oh, let that song ring out
[02:10.04] That's how it's meant to be
[02:14.38] Well, when she comes around, and I'm a-listenin' to the radio
[02:20.72] She says, "You can't do that, 'cause all I wanna do is rock 'n' roll
[02:26.45] "Now here I'm gonna stay where that music starts to play"
[02:33.06] She says, "Wama-lama bama-lama - rock 'n' roll is king"
[02:37.21] Oh, yeah, "Wama-lama bama-lama - rock 'n' roll is king"
[02:43.75] Oh, oh, "Wama-lama bama-lama - rock 'n' roll is king"
[02:49.15] Ooh, yeah, "Wama-lama bama-lama - rock 'n' roll is king"
[02:55.43] She said, "Wama-lama bama-lama - rock 'n' roll is king"
[03:00.89]
