She was just 16 and all alone When I came to be So we grew up together My mama child and me Now things were bad and she was scared But whenever I would cry She'd calm my fears and dry my tears With a rock and roll lullaby And she'd sing sha na na na na na na na na It'll be alright Sha na na na na na na na na na Just hold on tight Sing it to me mama, mama mama mama Sing it sweet and clear Oh, mama let me hear that old rock and roll lullaby ♪ Now, we made it through the lonely days But Lord the nights were long And we'd dream of better moments When mama sang her song Now I can't recall the words at all It don't make sense to try 'Cause I just knew lots of love came through In that rock and roll lullaby And she'd sing sha na na na na na na na na It'll be alright Sha na na na na na na na na na Just hold on tight I can hear you mama, mama mama mama Nothing moves my soul Like the sound of a good old rock and roll lullaby ♪ It'll be alright Just hold on tight Mama, mama, mama Nothing moves my soul Like the sound of a good old rock and roll lullaby It'll be alright Just hold on tight Sing it sweet and clear
