Perkins, Lewis, Orbison & Cash - Rock And Roll (Fais-Do-Do) Lyrics
(Mike Smotherman)
Well when I first got to Memphis, either Berlin I was knocked out by those friendly people They all said a-howdy, howdy - come on in We don't know the meaning of the word outside there
I said, people, you all play that kinda music Well, there's something, I would surely like to know When I was a boy, I heard this wild kinda music I think, they called it, good ol' 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, 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
-Solo-
Well you could not imagine, the shape my head was in Took me a walk down by the Mississippi When I heard this rockin' music, comin' out of the harbour inn I couldn't resist, I had me a drink, then I had me a-listen
I said to the boys in the band, if you get a break 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 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
