Well, well, well, life is just a treat
You've got to earn what you eat
You got to run, got to hide
Baby, here's a dime (put it in the jukebox)
Ready, steady
There you go
Be-bop, a-lula, come on
I wanna ride with you
Sweat, smile, keep up the flame
Hey man, she's a real cool dame
Monroe looks, yeah, she's got it
I want it all
Gotta rock
Gotta roll
Don't give me jive
Give me rock 'n' roll
Take it up
Take it low
Shake the bone
And let it, let it roll
Gotta rock
Gotta roll
Don't give me jive
Give me rock 'n' roll
Take it up
Take it low
Shake the bone
And let it, let it roll
Now, now, now
