Well [E] listen everybody let me tell you about the rock 'n' roll
Oh [E] feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your [B] soul

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

When she [E] comes around and I'm listenin' to the radio
