VERSE 1:
Well [D] listen everybody let me tell you about the rock 'n' roll
Oh [D] feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your [A] soul

She said whama-lama, bama-lama, [A] rock'n'roll is [D] king

VERSE 2:
She loves that [D] rock'n'roll and she plays it all night long
That's all she ever tells me when I call her on the tele-[A]-phone

She said whama-lama, bama-lama, [A] rock'n'roll is [D] king

Oh let that [G] song ring [D] out
That's [E] how it's meant to [A] be

It [D] rolls like a train that's comin' on down the track
She rolled over Beethoven and she gave Tchaikovsky [A] back

When she [D] comes around and I'm listenin' to the radio
She says you can't do that 'cos all I wanna do is rock'n'-[A]-roll
Now [G] here I'm gonna stay when that [D] music starts to play
She said whama-lama, bama-lama, [A] rock'n'roll is [D] king
