Rock And Roll Waltz

Kay Starr

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
