Once upon a time not so very long ago
There wasn’t such a thing as a rock’n’roll show
You had to sit at home and listen to the radio
Then came a man with a rockin’ guitar
Found himself a beat and he played it near and far
Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll

Again again again again again again again again
Why don’t you do it, why don’t you do it again?
Again again again again again again again again
Why don’t you do it, why don’t you do it again?

He travelled round the world in a rock-n-roll band
He stood there like a giant with a guitar in his hand
Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll
Nobody cared about the clothes he would wear
Nobody cared about the colour of his hair
Everybody came to see and let the good times roll

Again again again again again again again again
Why don’t you do it, why don’t you do it again?
Again again again again again again again again
Why don’t you do it, why don’t you do it again?

Now we’ve got the rhythm in us now we’ve got the rock
Time didn’t matter never living by the clock
Everybody came to hear him playing his rock-n-roll
Then came a line when the music didn’t rhyme
He couldn’t find the rhyme ‘cos he couldn’t find the time
But still the people came to listen to the good times roll

Again again again again again again again again
Why don’t you do it, why don’t you do it again?
Again again again again again again again again
Why don’t you do it, why don’t you do it again?
Again again again again again again again again
Why don’t you do it, why don’t you do it again?
Why don’t you do it, why don’t you do it again?
