Rock And Roll Music
Manic Street Preachers Lyrics

Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
I simply want to listen to some rock and roll music.

Any old way you choose it
It doesn't matter how you play it, as long as it is rock and roll music.

It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Rock and roll music has a distinctive beat that is impossible to ignore.

Any old time you use it
You can listen to and enjoy rock and roll music at any time.

Rock and roll music
The particular kind of music that is being referred to is rock and roll.

If you want to dance with me
If you would like to dance to this kind of music, I am willing to oblige.

I've got no kick against modern jazz
I don't have a particular dislike for modern jazz.

Unless they try to play it too darn fast
The only issue I have with modern jazz is when it is played at an excessive speed.

And change the beauty of the melody
When modern jazz musicians alter the melody of a song, it detracts from its original beauty.

Until they sound just like a symphony
Modern jazz loses its charm when the music becomes too similar in style to a symphony.

I took my loved one over cross the tracks
I brought my significant other across the railroad tracks to hear my favorite saxophonist.

So she can hear my man await a sax
I wanted her to hear how incredible my favorite saxophonist is.

I must admit the have a rockin' band
I cannot deny that the band is impressive and plays great music.

Man they were going like a hurricane
The band was playing energetically and with intensity, like a hurricane.

Way down south they gave a jubilee
There was a celebration down south, a jubilee.

The jockey folks they had a jamboree
The people there were enjoying themselves, having a jamboree.

They're drinkin' home brew from a water cup
The people attending the jubilee were drinking homemade brew from water cups.

The folks dancin' got all shook up
The dancing people got so into the music that they became visibly shaken up with excitement.

And started playin' that rock and roll music
They began playing rock and roll music.

Don't care to hear 'em play a tango
I personally am not very interested in hearing a tango being played.

I'm in the mood to hear a mambo
I am currently feeling like listening to a mambo.

It's way too early for a congo
It is presently too early to play congo music.

So keep rockin' that piano
Instead, keep playing rock and roll music on the piano.

So I can get some of that rock and roll music
I want to listen to rock and roll music.
