Mama knows and papa knows
|
That rock 'n roll is music now
|
Baby's been cutting his teeth on
|
Bo Diddley's, I'm a man, man
|
Listen to the Wolfman howl
|
|
See the white man sailing his ship up on the sea
|
Watch the white man shackle
|
The black man to a tree
|
To the invader go the fruits of war
|
He misses home and his boots are sore
|
He has not got no roots no more
|
He comes for your gold
|
Watch out for your soul
|
|
Cause tennis shoes, and rhythm and blues
|
Are second generation
|
All across the nation, now
|
And mama knows, papa too
|
Rock 'n roll is music
|
Rock 'n roll is music, now
|
|
To the invader go the fruits of war
|
He misses home and his boots are sore
|
He has not got no roots no more
|
He comes for your gold
|
But watch out for your soul
|
|
Mama knows and papa knows
|
That rock 'n roll is music
|
Rock 'n roll is music, now
|

Rock 'n Roll Is Music Now
