Well When I First Got To Memphis...
I Was Knocked Out By Those Friendly People
They All Said "howdy, Howdy, Come On In
We Don't Know The Meaning Of The Word Outsider"

I Said "people, You Gonna Play This Kinda Music
Well There's Something I Would Surely Like To Know
When I Was A Boy I Heard This Wild Kinda Music
And I Think They Called It, Oh, Rock And Roll
Can You Tell Me What You Know About Rock And Roll?"

They Said "son, It's Just A Feeling, Way Down In Your Soul"
Just A Simple Story With This Wild Rock And Roll
Yeah, Well All The Boys In Louisiana Called It Rock And Roll
But I'll Tell You A Secret, It Drives The Women Crazy
And That's All You Need To Know About Rock And Roll

Well You Could Not Imagine The Shape My Head Was In
I Took Me A Walk Down By The Mississippi
When I Heard This Rockin' Out Of The Harbour Inn
I Couldn't Resist, I Had Me A Drink, Then I Had Me A Listen

I Said "people, You Gonna Play This Kinda Music
There's Something That I'd Really Like To Know
When I Was A Boy I Heard This Wild Kinda Music
And I Think They Called It, Rock And Roll
Can You Tell Me What You Know About Rock And Roll?"

They Said "son, It's Just A Feeling, Way Down In Your Soul"
Just A Simple Story With This Wild Rock And Roll
Yeah, Well All The Boys In Louisiana Called It Rock And Roll
But I'll Tell You A Secret, It Drives The Women Crazy
And That's All You Need To Know About Rock And Roll
