ROCK 'N' ROLL IS KING
Electric Light Orchestra


Weeellll, listen everybody let me tell you 'bout the rock 'n' roll
Awww, feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your soul
Mmmmm, come along with me, to a land of make believe
She said, "Wham-a-lama-bama-lama rock 'n' roll is king"

She loves that rock and roll and she plays it all night long
Aww, that's all she ever tells me when I call her on the telephone
She says "Uh feel that jumpin' beat, and a-git up on your feet"
She says "Wham-a-lama-bama-lama rock 'n' roll is king"

Oh let those guitars play
Play for me play for me
Oh let that song ring out
That's how it's meant to beeee

Well, it rolls like a train that's a-comin' on down the track
She rolled over Beethoven and she gave Tchaikovsky back
Ooh, she loves that drivin' beat, she goes dancin' on down the
street
She said, "Wham-a-lama-bama-lama rock 'n' roll is king"

Aw, rock on

Oh, let those guitars play
Play for me play for me
Oh let that song ring out
That's how it's meant to beeee

Well, when she comes around and I'm a-listenin' to the radio
She says "You can't do that 'cause all I wanna do is rock 'n'
rooollll"
"Now here I'm gonna stay where that music starts to play"
She says, "Wham-a-lama-bama-lama rock 'n' roll is king"
"Ooh, yeah, wham-a-lama-bama-lama rock 'n' roll is king"
"Uh, huh, wham-a-lama-bama-lama rock 'n' roll is king"
"Oooh, yeah, wham-a-lama-bama-lama rock 'n' roll is king"
She said, "Wham-a-lama-bama-lama rock 'n' roll is king
