3. Dance Craze Crazy (That’s Rock’n’Roll)
VERSE 1
‘Rock Around The Clock!’ Bill Haley cried
That was nineteen-fifty-five
Then came Elvis, Elvis the Pelvis
Made the girls all scream and cry
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
CHORUS
Dance, dance, rock’n’roll
Do the Twist and do the Stroll
The Fish, The Swim and the Monkey too
Mashed Potato and The Boogaloo
Dance craze crazy, that’s rock’n’roll
VERSE 2
The Beatles in nineteen-sixty-two
Showed the world what they could do
Mop-top hair, shaking in the air
Love Me Do and She Loves You
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
CHORUS
Dance, dance, rock’n’roll
Do the Twist and do the Stroll
The Fish, The Swim and the Monkey too
Mashed Potato and The Boogaloo
Dance craze crazy, that’s rock’n’roll
BRIDGE
Back-beat drums they were knock, knock, knocking
Electric guitars they were rock, rock, rocking
Go-go girls they were bop, bop, bopping
They were all having fun! Go-go!
VERSE 3
Martin Luther King in sixty-three
Had a dream that he could see
Black and white dancing through the night
Everybody would be free
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
CHORUS
Dance, dance, rock’n’roll
Do the Twist and do the Stroll
The Fish, The Swim and the Monkey too
Mashed Potato and The Boogaloo
Dance craze crazy, that’s rockin’
Dance craze crazy, that’s rockin’
Dance craze crazy, that’s rock’n’roll
