Lyrics

Your ma ma don’t dance and your (F7)dad dy don’t rock and roll.

Your (F7)ma ma don’t dance and your dad dy don’t rock and roll.

When (G7)eve ning rolls a round and it’s (F7)time to go to town, where do you (C)go

to rock and roll?

The old folks say that you (F7)got ta end your date by ten.

If you’re (F7)out on a date and you bring it home late, it’s a (C)sin.

There (G7)just ain’t no ex cuse and you (F7)know you’re gon na lose and nev er win.

I’ll say it a gain.

(CN.C.)And it’s all be cause your (C)ma ma don’t dance and your (F7)dad dy don’t rock and roll.

Your (F7)ma ma don’t dance and your dad dy don’t rock and roll.

When (G7)eve ning rolls a round and it’s (F7)time to go to town, where do you (C)go

to rock and roll?

(C)ma ma don’t dance and your (F7)dad dy don’t rock and roll.

Your (F7)ma ma don’t dance and your dad dy don’t rock and roll.

When (G7)eve ning rolls a round and it’s (F7)time to go to town, where do you (C)go

to rock and roll?

You (F5)pull in to a drive in (E5)and (F5)find a place to park.

(E5)You (F5)hop in to the back seat where (E5)you (F5)know it’s nice and dark.

(E5)You’re (F5)just a bout to move and (E5)you’re (F5)think ing it’s a breeze, (E5)there’s a (F5)light in your eye and then a guy (E5)says, (F5)“Out of the (CN.C.)car, long hair!” Ooh whee!

“You’re com ing with (F7)me!”

The lo cal po (C)lice!

(CN.C.)And it’s all be cause your ma ma don’t dance and your (F7)dad dy don’t rock and roll.

Your (F7)ma ma don’t dance and your dad dy don’t rock and roll.

When (G7)eve ning rolls a round and it’s (F7)time to go to town, where do you (C)go

to rock and roll?

Where do you go

to rock and roll?

Where do you go

to rock and roll?
