(Barry Mann and Cynthia Wei)

She was just sixteen
|
And all alone when I came to be
|
So we grew up together
|
Our mama-child and me
|
Now things were bad and she was scared
|
But whenever I would cry
|
She'd calm my fear and dry my tears
|
With a rock and roll lullaby
|
|
And she'd sing
|
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
|
It'll be all right
|
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
|
Just hold on tight
|
Sing it to me, mama
|
My, my, my, my, mama
|
Sing it sweet and clear
|
Oh mama, let me hear
|
That old rock and roll lullaby
|
|
[Instrumental Interlude]
|
|
We made it through the lonely days
|
But, Lord, the nights were long
|
And we'd dream of better mornin's
|
When mama sang a song
|
Now I can't recall the words at all
|
It don't make sense to try
|
'Cause I just knew lotsa love came through
|
In that rock and roll lullaby
|
|
And she'd sing
|
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
|
It'll be all right
|
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
|
Just hold on tight
|
I can hear ya, mama
|
My, my, my, my mama
|
Nothin' moves my soul
|
Like the sound of the good old
|
Rock and roll lullaby
|
