Annie told Nat, she told Pat
They all got together on the launderette
She said oh oh
We gotta take it slow
I know they'll never get nothing to beat that rock and roll
Other music just leaves me cold 'cos I got it down in my soul

Rock is dead but it won't lie down
Shakes its head ant it sticks around
They said that rock would fade away
But I knew rock was here to stay
And I told friends who told the town
News like that soon gets around
Rock and roll is dead but it won't lie down

Mama said stop, Dad blew his top
When we all got together at the local hop
I said oh oh
You really just don't know
'Cos there'll never be nothing to beat that rock and roll
Other music just leaves me cold 'cos I got it down in my soul

Rock is dead but it won't lie down
Shakes its head ant it sticks around
They said that rock would fade away
But I knew rock was here to stay
And I told friends who told the town
News like that soon gets around
Rock and roll is dead but it won't lie down
