Wanna Rock and Roll
[Verse 1]
Last night I went down to the railroad tracks
To watch that train roll by
Ninety-nine cars screamin' into the dark
I heard the lonesome whistle cry
With her name on my arm and the rain comin' down
It was like the first time
I took her down to the railroad tracks
And her red, red lips touched mine

[Chorus]
Wanna rock and roll
Hoochie coo
Shake that thing
Baby, love me do

[Verse 2]
The woman's got a walk to make a man cry
Throw back his head and howl
Ruby red lips and liquid hips
More than the law will allow
I told her once, I told her twice
I must've told her a thousand times
"I got a red hot mind and a cold black heart
"I am the jealous kind"
Well, the woman just laughed and said, "Sweet Daddy
"You know you're the only one
"You're my smooth lover boy, heartache and joy
"Come on let's have some fun"
[Chorus]
She wanna rock and roll
Wanna hoochie coo
Shake that thing
Baby, love me do

[Verse 3]
It was early last night, I went downtown
To a place called Johnny's Last Stand
Through the blues and the smoke I saw her on the dance floor
She's with another man
The dead man's name was Louie Dupree
[I pushed the little button on my knife?]
I walked up and said, "Hello boys and girls
"Have you enjoyed your life?"

[Chorus]
It's time to rock and roll
It's time to hoochie coo
Shake that thing
Baby, love me do

[Verse 4]
Last night I went down to the railroad tracks
To watch that train roll by
Ninety-nine cars screamin' into the dark
I heard the lonesome whistle cry
With her name on my arm and the rain comin' down
I kissed her for the very last time
I took her down to the railroad tracks
And her dead, red lips touched mine
[Chorus]
I wanna rock and roll
Wanna hoochie coo
Shake that thing
Baby, love me do
Wanna rock and roll
Wanna hoochie coo
Shake that thing
Baby, love me do
Baby, love me do
Baby, love me do
Baby, love me do
Baby, love me do
