THE SAINTS ROCK 'N ROLL
(Bill Haley / Mike Gabler)
Bill Haley & His Comets - 1956
Well, rock 'n rolling' holiday,
Rock 'n rolling all the way,
Rock 'n rolling' to the end,
'Til the saints go marching' in.
Now when the saints … go marching' in,
Well, when the saints go marching' in,
Yeah, Lord, I want … want 'a be in that number,
When the saints … go marching' in.
Well, now when Nick, comes wailing' in,
Yeah, when old Nick comes wailing' in,
Oh, Lord, I want … want 'a be in that number,
when that guitar comes wailing' in.
Well, now when Rudy begins to blow,
Well, when old Rudy starts to wail,
Yeah, Lord, I want … want 'a be in that number,
When that sax man starts wailing' in.
(Here we go now) …
Well, when that rhythm comes wailing' in,
Yeah, when old Rapper starts to wail,
Well, Lord, I want … want 'a be in that number,
When old Rapper comes wailing' in.
Now when the band plays rock 'n roll,
Well, when the Comets rock 'n roll,
Yeah, Lord, I want … want 'a be in that number,
When the Comets play rock 'n roll.
(All together now) …
When the saints go marching in !
