lyrics

HEY MAMA, GIVE ME BACK MY ROCK AND ROLL SHOES

(Robert A. Wilders)

Up jumped Johnny
He said he had the blues.
Down fell the kingdom.
We started looking for clues.

Goodbye to Maybelline.
What happened to Peggy Sue?
Packed up my guitar.
Gave up choppin’ wood too.

(CHORUS)
Hey-ey Mama
Give me back my rock and roll shoes.
Hey-ey Mama
Give me back my rock and roll shoes.

Last time I saw her
Run-around was now settled down Sue
And the clock that we rocked around
Had turned into a grandfather coo-koo.

We shouted and twisted it.
Till we bled it completely dry.
One thing you can be sure of
Rock and roll won’t never die.

(repeat chorus)

Now they study it in college.
They try to analyze the words.
Looking for hidden meanings.
I’ve never heard of anything so absurd.

It used to be so much fun.
Just to play and dance and sing.
To rock and roll was nothing...
That's why rock and roll was everything.

(repeat chorus)
