Back in the mind of a young teenager Rock 'n' roll music was my life saver I was thick as molasses I was sad as can be I was long, tall, short and going to end it Locked-up in a cage with the bone of a chicken You know? Cock-a-doodle-doo, I was strictly forbidden Everybody laughing and a peeking and a poking But I was too scared to move I was too much heart broken Three ugly sisters were the keepers of me They were certified witches, Evil!, Nasty! Now every day at around five o'clock Yeah, A great big ol' giant would come, knockety knock Ugh Now this guy was mean and stinking of gin But you watch what you sayin', and boy, best did what you did So I shoved down the engine and I shoved down that motor It was like, I was like trying to get by on nothin' but bread and water I kill myself for a week everyday Until March seventeenth when I went away Went out to France I've been up to Maine I've been down to Mexico Well I got married in Spain Rock 'n' roll, ladies and gentlemen That became my name When I heard that beat, baby You know everything changed I'll shout it I'll scream it Stomp it and holler Look out now people I'm gon' do what I wanna A-get down Leave me alone so I can rock again Leave me alone so I can rock again Leave me alone so I can rock again Leave me alone so I can rock again Leave me alone so I can rock again Leave me alone so I can rock again Leave me alone so I can rock again Leave me alone so I can rock again I'm just an old man and I got me no friends Leave me alone so I can rock again Leave me alone so I can rock again Leave me alone so I can rock again I'm gonna start at the top and go right to the end, baby Leave me alone so I can rock again Ah-Let's do it Yeah Just let it roll Ohh I grew up with three witches and a giant Cock-a-doodle-doo I don't wanna go back I don't wanna feel that way Aahhhooohhhh!
