KAY STARR lyrics - The Rock And Roll Waltz

(Words by Roy Alfred and Music by Shorty Allen)



One night I was late

Came home from a date

Slipped out of my shoes at the door

Then from the front room

I heard a jump tune

I looked in and here's what I saw



There in the night

What a wonderful scene

Mom was dancing with Dad

To my record machine

And while they danced

Only one thing was wrong

They were trying to waltz

To a rock and roll song



A-one, two, and then rock

A-one, two, and then roll

They did the rock and roll waltz

A-rock, two, three

A-roll, two, three

It looked so cute to me

I love the rock and roll waltz



A-one, two, and then rock

A-one, two, and then roll

A-one, two, and then jump

It's good for your soul

It's old but it's new

Let's do the rock and roll waltz



There in the night

What a wonderful scene

Mom was dancing with Dad

To my record machine

And while they danced

Only one thing was wrong

They were trying to waltz

To a rock and roll song!



A-one, two, and then rock

A-one, two, and then roll

A-one, two, and then jump

It's good for your soul

It's old but it's new

Let's do the rock and roll waltz

Let's do the rock and roll waltz
