Chorus

Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll.
( play intro )
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll.
( play intro )
When evenin' rolls around and it's time to go to town,
where do you go to rock and roll?

Verse 1

The old folks say that you gotta end your day by ten.
( play intro )
If you're out on a date and you bring it home late, it's a sin.
( play intro )
There just ain't no excusin', you know you're gonna lose
and never win. I'll say it again. And it's all because ...

Chorus

Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll.
( play intro )
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll.
( play intro )
When evenin' rolls around and it's time to go to town,
where do you go to rock and roll?
Then go to bridge with a walk up:

Bridge

You pull into a drive-in, you find a place to park.
You hop into the back seat where you know it's nice and dark.
You're just about to move in, you're thinkin' it's a breeze.
There's a light in your eye and then a guy says:
"Outta the car, longhair!"
"Ooh-wee! You're comin' with me, the local police!"

Chorus

And it's all because ...
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll.
( play intro )
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll.
( play intro )
When evenin' rolls around and it's time to go to town,
where do you go to rock and roll?
Where do you go to rock and roll?
Where do you go to rock and roll?
