When i was just a lad, my father sat me down
He said, there's two things in life you gotta know
If you live fast son, you're surely die young
And there's only ten ways you can rock an' roll

Well, it's one, you can do the bop
Two, at the school sock hop
Three, we're gonna drive real far
Four, in the kitty cat car
Five, turn off the light
Grab hold of your baby, let's rock tonight

Well, there's one, two, three, don't stop
Four, five, six, to blow your top
Seven, eight, nine, oh man alive
Ten ways to rock tonight, rock!

Well, it's six, slip on your blue jeans
Seven, slick your hair back mean
My baby, she got the quick-step blues tonight
Sportin' high heel shoes
Ten, hits on the dance floor
Dig that rockabilly music some more

Well, it's a-one, two, three, don't stop
Four, five, six, to blow her top
Seven, eight, nine, oh man alive
Ten ways to rock tonight, go!

Well, it's one, you can do the bop
Two, at the school sock hop
Three, we're gonna drive real far
Four, in the kitty cat car
Five, turn off the lights
Grab hold of your baby, let's rock tonight

Well, it's six, slip on your blue jeans
Seven, slick your hair back mean
My baby, she got the two-step blues tonight
Sportin' high heel shoes
Ten, git on that dance floor
And dig that rockabilly music some more

Well, it's a-one, two, three, don't stop
Four, five, six, to blow her top
Seven, eight, nine, oh man alive
Ten ways to rock tonight

Well now, it's a-one, two, three, don't stop
Four, five, six, to blow your top
Seven, eight, nine, oh man alive
Ten ways to rock tonight
