Rock and roll, that's what they call me
From the very first moment that my mom and papa saw me
Head nurse spoke up, she said leave this one alone
She could tell right away I was bad to the bone
Mama looked at papa, papa said low
First Name Rock, Last Name Roll

School boy lost, swimmin' in the hall
Teacher keeps his name up written on the wall
They say the apple don't fall too far from the tree
Ya ain't seen no better angels, they're lookin' down on me
Catch me with my guitar climbin' up the flagpole
First Name Rock, Last Name Roll

Ow!
-instrumental-
Ow! Ow!

I'm walking through the garden and I meet some pretty girl
Finest little thing in the whole wide world
Took me by surprise the way she looked up at me
Slidin' on over just like a snake down from a tree
Baby made an offer and I done sold my soul
First Name Rock, Last Name Roll

Ow!
-instrumental-
Ow! Ow!

First Name Rock, Last Name Roll!

Now the lonely, lonely streets and a box railcar are my home
Strummin' my way wherever I may roam
I'm doin' my best to keep a step ahead of the man
So he don't put me in his mugshot and a stuff me in his can
Bleedin' all my freedom just a stuck down in a hole
First Name Rock, Last Name Roll

Drivin' down the highway on a billboard by the road
Tellin' me "Believe In Jesus" and the coming of the Lord
Tho' not uncommon to be fashionably late
I promise that you'll see me there, standing at the gate
Just before (Early in) the mornin' when that milk cow bell does toll
First Name Rock, Last Name Roll

Ow!
Wow ow ow ow!
Ow ow!

Rock me now baby

Ow ow

Let's rock & roll

First Name Rock, Last Name Roll
First Name Rock, Last Name Roll
First Name Rock, Last Name Roll
First Name's Rock, & My Last Name's Roll

That's rock and roll baby
