Don’t Knock The Rock Lyrics

Don't knock the rock
(Don't knock the rock)
Don't knock the rock
(Don't knock the rock)
Well, my baby don't do nothing but rock and roll, that's all

You can knock bebop and you can knock swing
Say what you want about any old thing
But

Don't knock the rock
(Don't knock the rock)
Don't knock the rock
(Don't knock the rock)
Well, my baby don't do nothing but rock and roll, that's all

Now when my baby's dancing she's as tall as a clown
If she ever fell she'd have to fall out of town
Dances in the kitchen with her feet in the hall
Roll and a rock she's a-having a ball

Don't knock the rock
(Don't knock the rock)
Don't knock the rock
(Don't knock the rock)
Well, my baby don't do nothing but rock and roll, that's all
You can knock mambo or dozey do
Say what you want about any of those

But
Don't knock the rock
(Don't knock the rock)
Don't knock the rock
(Don't knock the rock)
Well, my baby don't do nothing but rock and roll, that's all

Now you can knock on the jive and the boogie beat
[?] those with both o' your feet
But
Don't knock the rock
Don't knock the rock
Don't knock the rock
Don't knock the rock
Well, my baby don't do nothing but rock and roll, that's all

When my baby's dancing she is really alive
Grabs herself a partner - Mr Five by Five
Swings her from a tree like a happy baboon
Two steps back throws him over the moon

Don't knock the rock
(Don't knock the rock)
Don't knock the rock
(Don't knock the rock)
Well, my baby don't do nothing but rock and roll, that's all

  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
