HANG UP MY ROCK AND ROLL SHOES

My momma told me she don't like that rock and roll
I said please momma please, momma you don't know

I don't wanna hang up my rock and roll shoes
When that beat starts to move me, well I shake these blues

Now the kids are all dancing from 8 to 25
It's gotta have a beat that keeps a man alive

I don't wanna hang up my rock and roll shoes
When that beat gets to move me, momma I shake these blues

Well momma I'll do my homework, I swear I'll clean the yard
I'll shine up daddy's machine, I'll do any little thing you want

Some people say that rock and roll will fade away
I don't care what they say, rock and roll is here to stay

I don't wanna hang up my rock and roll shoes
When that beat starts to move me, I can shake them blues

Well momma I'll do my homework, I swear I'll clean the yard
I'll shine daddy's Cadillac, I'll do any little thing you want

Some people say that rock and roll will fade away
I don't give a damn, rock and roll is here to stay

I don't wanna hang up my rock and roll shoes
When that beat starts to move me, I get rid of these blues

I don't wanna hang up my rock and roll shoes
I don't wanna hang up my rock and roll shoes
I don't wanna hang up my rock and roll shoes
I don't wanna hang up my rock and roll shoes
When that beat starts to move me, I get rid of these blues
