Lyrics

Shout, shout, shout, what's the raving about?
Cos there's a lot of monkey business in the park
Rama-lama-bang, shoot the orangutan
And sister won't be going out tonight
Save your soul, stop along, I need to find an answer
Can you tell me where the rock has gone?
Time to sing, when the boogie was in
We had a chance to forget the blues
Stop to rock, whatever stopped the car?
Whatever happened to my blue suede shoes?
Ain't no use to carry on early in the morning
Would you tell me where the rock has gone?
There ain't no time to lose
Cos there's a riot going on, join in tonight
Gonna move it, gonna groove it
Gonna roll a rocket now, yeah
Oh my soul, where'd the big beat go? Oh
We're never gonna hear it again
It's insane, it's hard for changing ways
But, baby, rock it to the very end
Save your soul and carry on, I need to find an answer
Can you tell me where the rock has gone?
There ain't no time to lose
Cos there's a riot going on, join in tonight
Gonna move it, gonna shake it
Gonna roll a rocket now, yeah
Listen now and hear the news
Find a way to shake the blues, yeah
We've gotta bring it back now
We've gotta find a way
Big bus woman on a Saturday night
Keep a-rolling till the morning sun
Shaking off the blues in her Rock and Roll shoes
She's really only just begun
She got no use to carry on, she needs to find an answer
Can you tell her where the rock has gone?
There ain't no time to lose
Cos there's a riot going on, join in tonight
Gonna move it, gonna groove it
Gonna roll a rocket now, yeah
