That's Rock 'N' Roll Lyrics
Shaun Cassidy
Lyrics
When I was sixteen, and sick of school
I didn't know what I wanted to do.
I bought a guitar
I sang my heart out
That's rock n' roll
I played at parties, played at bars
I spent my money buyin' new guitars
I screamed my heart out,
But how I loved it
That's rock n' roll
Come on everybody get down and get with it!
Come on everybody get down and get with it!
Come on everybody get down and get with it!
That's rock n' roll
And if you feel it, clap your hands;
You'll see some sweat from the boys in the band
Just get the rhythm, and let it fill ya
That's rock n' roll.
Come on everybody get down and get with it!
Come on everybody get down and get with it!
Come on everybody get down and get with it!
That's rock n' roll
