Rock And Roll (Fais-Do-Do)

Well, when I first got to Memphis, T-E double N

I was knocked out by these friendly people

They all said "Howdy, howdy, come on in

We don't know the meaning of the word 'outsider'"

I said "People, you gonna play this kinda music

Well there's something I would surely like to know

When I was a boy I heard this wild kinda music

And I think they called it, oh, rock and roll

Can you tell me what you know about rock and roll?"

They said "Son, it's just a feeling, way down in your soul"

Just a simple story with this wild rock and roll"

Yeah, well all the boys in Louisiana called it rock and roll

But I'll tell you a secret: it drives the women crazy

And that's all you need to know about rock and roll

Well, you could not imagine the shape my head was in

I took me a walk down by the Mississippi

When I heard this rockin' music comin' out of the harbor inn

I couldn't resist, I had me a drink, then I had me a listen

I said to the boys in the band, "When you get a break

There's something that I'd really like to know

When I was a boy I heard this wild kinda music

And I think they called it rock and roll

Can you tell me what you know about rock and roll?"

They said "Son, it's just a feeling, way down in your soul"

Just a simple story with this wild rock and roll"

All the boys in Louisiana called it rock and roll

But I'll tell you a secret: it drives the women crazy

And that's all you need to know about rock and roll
