Well, listen everybody let me tell you 'bout the rock 'n' roll
Feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your soul
Come along with me, to a land of make believe
She said whama-lama-bama-lama rock 'n' roll is king

She loves that rock'n'roll and she plays it all night long
That's all she ever tells me when I call her on the telephone
She says feel that jumpin' beat, and-a get up on your feet
She says whama-lama-bama-lama rock 'n' roll is king

Oh, let those guitars play
Play for me, play for me
Oh, let that song ring out
That's how it's meant to be

Well, it rolls like a train that's a-comin' on down the track
She rolled over Beethoven and she gave Tchaikovsky back
She loves that drivin' beat, she goes dancin' on down the street
She said whama-lama-bama-lama rock 'n' roll is king

Oh, rock on!

Oh, let those guitars play
Play for me, play for me
Oh, let that song ring out
That's how it's meant to be

Well, when she comes around and I'm a-listenin' to the radio
She says you can't do that 'cause all I want to do is rock 'n' roll
Now, here I'm gonna stay when that music starts to play
She says whama-lama-bama-lama rock 'n' roll is king

Oh, yeah
Whama-lama-bama-lama rock 'n' roll is king
Oh-huh
Whama-lama-bama-lama rock 'n' roll is king
Mmm-hmmm
Whama-lama-bama-lama rock 'n' roll is king
She said
Whama-lama-bama-lama rock 'n' roll is king
