Rock 'N Groove
Bunny Wailer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spread out this ya sound is (far and near?)
And number one is in the air
People dancing everywhere,
′Cause the music man is here
Reggae, boogie disco rock,
Is gonna call a shock attack
And this ya sound will never flop,
It sure has got to reach the top

Rock 'n′ groove with me
Get on now it's dancing time
Rock 'n′ groove with me
And I′ll know I'll make it fine
Rock ′n' groove with me
Get on now it′s dancing time
Rock 'n′ groove with me
And I'll know I'll make it fine

Rockers music on the ground,
Just working it all over town
The jukebox playing all night long,
Selecting this ya favorite song
Just now it′s on the radio,
(Clappin?) on the late, late show
DJ′s rocking all foot free,
It's moving on the R&B

Rock ′n' groove with me
Get on now it′s dancing time
Rock 'n′ groove with me
And I'll know I'll make it fine
Rock ′n′ groove with me
Get on now it's dancing time
Rock ′n' groove with me
And I′ll know I'll make it fine

Reggae, boogie disco rock,
Is gonna call a shock attack
And this ya sound will never flop,
It sure has got to reach the top
Just now it′s on the radio,
(Clappin?) on the late, late show
DJ's rocking all foot free,
It's moving on the R&B

Rock ′n′ groove with me
Get on now it's dancing time
Rock ′n' groove with me
And I′ll know I'll make it fine
Rock ′n' groove with me
Get on now it's dancing time




Rock ′n′ groove with me
And I'll know I′ll make it fine
