(Words by Roy Alfred and Music by Shorty Allen)
|
One night I was late
|
Came home from a date
|
Slipped out of my shoes at the door
|
Then from the front room
|
I heard a jump tune
|
I looked in and here's what I saw
|
|
There in the night
|
What a wonderful scene
|
Mom was dancing with Dad
|
To my record machine
|
And while they danced
|
Only one thing was wrong
|
They were trying to waltz
|
To a rock and roll song
|
|
A-one, two, and then rock
|
A-one, two, and then roll
|
They did the rock and roll waltz
|
A-rock, two, three
|
A-roll, two, three
|
It looked so cute to me
|
I love the rock and roll waltz
|
|
A-one, two, and then rock
|
A-one, two, and then roll
|
A-one, two, and then jump
|
It's good for your soul
|
It's old but it's new
|
Let's do the rock and roll waltz
|
|
There in the night
|
What a wonderful scene
|
Mom was dancing with Dad
|
To my record machine
|
And while they danced
|
Only one thing was wrong
|
They were trying to waltz
|
To a rock and roll song!
|
|
A-one, two, and then rock
|
A-one, two, and then roll
|
A-one, two, and then jump
|
It's good for your soul
|
It's old but it's new
|
Let's do the rock and roll waltz
|
Let's do the rock and roll waltz
|
