Chorus Intro:
Rock-rock, do-wop-bop-bop-bop
Rock-rock, do-wop-bop-bop-bop
Let`s rock, baby baby, let`s roll
Let`s bop to satisfy our soul
A-don`t wait `till we old an` gray
A-let`s rock baby, right away
An` listen to me like you know you should
Now let`s rock (oh yeah) while the rockin`s good
Let`s dance baby baby, let`s hop
A-clap your hands an` do the new style bop
A-let`s mambo to the bongo drums
A-do the cha-cha it`s a lot of fun
A-listen to me like you know you should
Now let`s rock (oh yeah) while the rock is good
A-while we`re young an` a-spring is sprung
Let`s go moonlight strollin`
`Cause once you`re old an` your blood gets cold
Say, no more rockin` an-a rollin`
Let`s swing, baby baby, let`s shout
An tell the old folks what it`s all about
A-don`t wait `till your bones are stiff
C`mon an` give your little heart a lift
Listen to me like you know you should
Now let`s rock (oh yeah) while the rock is good
(Instrumental & sax)
Chorus: 2x`s

Bop-bop, do-wah-bop
Rock-rock, do-wop-bop
Bop-bop, do-wop-bop
Rock, rock, rock-rock-rock
Rock, rock, do-wop-bop
Say, while we`re young an` spring is sprung
Let`s go moonlight strollin`
`Cause once you`re old an` your blood gets cold
Say, no more rockin` an-a rollin`
Let`s sing, baby baby, let`s shout
A-tell the old folks what it`s all about
A-don`t wait `till your bones are stiff
C`mon an` give your little heart a lift
A-listen to me like you know you should
Now let`s rock (oh yeah) while the rock is good
Let`s rock (oh yeah) while the rock is good!
(Oh yea-eeeah).
