Down in the swamp
Who put the bomp
Back into rock 'n' roll?
I really don't know
Don't really know.
My Daddy was a preacher
He taught the gospel of soul
He taught me how to rock
Taught me how to roll.
CHORUS:
Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
Down in the swamp
Daddy put the bomp in my soul.
My mommy, Texas lady
She taught me how to jive
And all her rockin' and rollin'
Kept the family alive.
I took my Chevy to the drive in movies
Hopin' that it would not rain
Eddie Cochran sang the "Summertime Blues" again.
CHORUS:
Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
Down in the swamp
Daddy put the bomp in my soul
Put the bomp.
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK.
CHORUS:
Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
Down in the swamp
Daddy put the bomp in my soul.
My Daddy was a preacher
He taught the gospel of soul
He taught me how to rock
He taught me how to roll.
And my mommy, Texas lady
She taught me how to jive
And all her rockin' and rollin'
Kept the family alive.
CHORUS:
Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
Down in the swamp
Daddy put the bomp in my soul.
Ooh, rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
Down in the swamp
Daddy put the bomp in my soul
Down in the swamp
Daddy put the bomp in my soul
Down in the swamp
Daddy put the bomp in my soul
Down in the swamp
Daddy put the bomp in my soul
Down in the swamp
Daddy put the bomp in my soul
Down in the swamp
Daddy put the bomp in my soul... TIL FADE OUT
