VERSE 1:
Well [G#] listen everybody let me tell you about the rock 'n' roll
Oh [G#] feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your [D#] soul
Mmm [C#] come along with me, to a [G#] land of make believe
She said whama-lama, bama-lama, [D#] rock'n'roll is [G#] king

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

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

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

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

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

VERSE 3:
When she [G#] comes around and I'm listenin' to the radio
She says you can't do that 'cos all I wanna do is rock'n'-[D#]-roll
Now [C#] here I'm gonna stay when that [G#] music starts to play
