They said "son, it's just a feeling, way down in your soul" Just a simple story with this wild rock and roll Yeah, well all the boys in Louisiana called it rock and roll But I'll tell you a secret, it drives the women crazy And that's all you need to know about rock and roll Well you could not imagine the shape my head was in I took me a walk down by the Mississippi When I heard this rockin' out of the harbour inn I couldn't resist, I had me a drink, then I had me a listen I said "people, you gonna play this kinda music There's something that I'd really like to know When I was a boy I heard this wild kinda music and I think they called it, rock and roll Can you tell me what you know about rock and roll?" They said "son, it's just a feeling, way down in your soul" Just a simple story with this wild rock and roll Yeah, well all the boys in Louisiana called it rock and roll But I'll tell you a secret, it drives the women crazy And that's all you need to know about rock and roll
