(Keep on a rockin’, keep on a rockin’)
(Keep on a rock n roll’s gonna never die)

I was born in the ’50s
I was loud and electric, didn’t I turn you on?
(Keep on a rockin’, keep on a rockin’)

Got all shook up with Elvis
Yeah, yeah, I’ve been Beatled, I’ve been Rolling Stoned
Watch it!

A hot flash at Woodstock
I encored there with your favorite song, yeah, yeah, yeah

The crowd was screamin’
“Give us rock n roll”
When the spotlight hits me
I always steal the show, let’s go

(Keep on a rockin’, keep on a rockin’)
(Keep on a rock n roll’s gonna never die)

Baby, I am the music
I am every note and I’m every chord
(Keep on a rockin’, keep on a rockin’)

I’m the star of tomorrow
Yeah, I’m the holy ghost of the old Fillmore
Ooh yeah

The crowd was screamin’,
“Give us rock n roll”
When the spotlight hits me
Put on my axe and I blow, like this

Fats Domino, ow
Shake, rattle, and roll all night long, yeah
When the rock is right, you can’t go wrong, no
(No, you can’t go wrong)
Some things never last
But the beat goes on and on and on and on and
Oooh baby, you rock on

(Keep on a rockin’, keep on a rockin’)
(Keep on a rock n roll’s gonna never die)

(Keep on a rockin’, keep on a rockin’)
(Keep on a rock n roll’s gonna never die)
You just keep on a rockin’, and you roll it
Rock n roll it, rock n roll it all night long

(Keep on a rockin’, keep on a rockin’)
(Keep on a rock n roll’s gonna never die)
Baby, you just rock it , rock n roll it all night long

Baby, baby
