Any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it
It's gotta be rock 'n 'roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I have no kicks against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until it sounds just like a symphony
Any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it
It's gotta be rock n' roll music
If you wanna dance with me,
if you wanna dance with me
I took my loved one over cross the tracks
So she could hear my man a -wailin' sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it.
It's gotta be rock and roll music.
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.
Way down south, they gave a jubilee.
I tell you folks, they had a jamboree.
And drinking beer from a wooden cup.
The folks a -dancing got all shook up.
They started playing that
Any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Say if you wanna dance with me
Run, if you wanna dance with me
Run, if you wanna dance with me
