Blues Brothers and Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stop all the clocks
I just got the news that my baby wants to rock
All she wants to do is rock
All she wants to do is rock
All she wants to do is rock
Rock and Roll all night long
Well, my baby don't like no fancy clothes
High class dinners or picture shows
When it comes to lovin', she knows what it's about
But when she huckle-bucks she knocks me out
All she wants to do is rock
All she wants to do is rock
All she wants to do is rock
Rock and Roll all night long
My baby don't like airplanes
She don't like those streamline trains
She just wants to stay at home
And huckle buck her daddy all night long
All she wants to do is rock
All she wants to do is rock
All she wants to do is rock
She wants to rock with the clock
But she don't know when to stop
Well, my baby gets her kicks every day
She rocks her fine little self away
She rocks in the basement, she rocks upstairs
I can't take it no more
I'm gonna have to get me a rockin chair
All she wants to do is rock
All she wants to do is rock
All she wants to do is rock
She wants to rock with the clock
but she don't know when to stop.
"All She Wants to Do Is Rock" is a lively and energetic blues-rock song that tells the story of a woman who is highly passionate about rock and roll. The singer expresses excitement and surprise upon learning that his baby wants to rock. The repetition of the line "All she wants to do is rock" emphasizes her intense dedication to the genre.
The song portrays the woman as someone who doesn't care for materialistic things like fancy clothes or high-class dinners. She is more interested in experiences that revolve around rock and roll. The mention of "huckle-bucking" suggests a style of dancing associated with the rhythm and energy of rock music, which apparently leaves the singer enamored.
The lyrics also highlight the woman's preference for staying at home rather than traveling by airplanes or streamline trains. This emphasizes her desire to create her own rock and roll experiences within the comfort of her own space. The repetition of the chorus reinforces this message, as the woman's sole desire is to rock with the clock, indicating a relentless passion and an inability to stop.
