All Around The World
Little Richard and His Band Lyrics

All around the world
Regardless of where you go in the world, people are listening to rock and roll music

Rock and roll is all they play
Rock and roll music dominates the airwaves and is the most popular genre of music

All around the world
This is a global trend, not limited to specific regions or countries

Rock and roll is all they play
Reiterating how pervasive and popular rock and roll music is all over the world

You can hear those jukebox jumpin'
Jukeboxes are playing rock and roll music constantly

All night and all through the day
There's no specific time or place where rock and roll music isn't being played

All the flat top cats
This line refers to young men who sport the flat top hairstyle, which was popular in the 50s and 60s

With their rock and roll queens
The young women who love to dance to rock and roll music and are equally passionate about the genre

Just a-rockin' and rollin'
The young couples are dancing carefree and enjoying the music

In their red and blue jeans
This is in reference to the colorful attire that the dancers wear, specifically comfortable jeans

Ain't never no time for romance
The individuals are more interested in dancing than romance

They only wanna dance
This further represents the passion and obsession for dance and rock and roll music

The people all holla when they hit that floor
The energy on the dancefloor is high, and people cheer when the young couples put on a great dance performance

Go, cat, go
This phrase is in reference to encouraging the dancers to move quickly and enjoy themselves

They do the Baha
Baha refers to a popular dance move that's done while one is jumping and spinning

The Texas hop
The Texas hop was a popular dance move that involved hopping and stamping one's feet to the beat of the music

Shim sham shimmy
This is another popular dance move that involves shaking your body and shimmying your hips to the music

And they never, never stop
The dancers are fully immersed in the music and keep dancing non-stop

All around the world
The song reiterates that rock and roll music is popular globally

Rock and roll is here to stay
Rock and roll music is not just a trend, but it's here to stay as it's become an integral part of people's lives

You can hear those jukebox jumpin'
Again, highlighting the significance of the jukebox, which was the central source for listening to music in the 50s and 60s

All night and all through the day
Rock and roll music is playing non-stop, and people are constantly listening to it day and night

Never no time for romance
The song reiterates that rock and roll music is all about dancing and enjoying the music; it isn't about romance

They only wanna dance
This line again stresses the importance of dance in rock and roll culture

The people all holla when they hit that floor
When dancers put on a great performance, the audience cheers them on and encourages them to keep dancing

Go, cat, go
This line is repeated, further emphasizing the song's encouragement for people to enjoy the music and dance to their heart's content
