My baby is a rock ‘n’ roller
My baby is a rock ‘n’ roller
Yeah, and that’s all
She ever wants to be

So why you tryin’ to come on with this sophistication
She don’t wanna know about your education
Man she don’t care about the United Nations
My baby gone on a rhythm sensation
That’s all she ever wants to be

My baby is a rock ‘n’ roller
My baby is a rock ‘n’ roller

Well she can’t take them stupid friends of yours
She ain’t gonna go through all of that no more
She don’t wanna be no dental assistant
Man she got the rhythm and she can’t resist it
And that’s all she ever wants to be

My baby is a rock ‘n’ roller
My baby is a rock ‘n’ roller
