Well my baby caught me listenin’ to that talk radio
Feeling so dejected and low
I told her that it’s been so long since I remember doing the stroll
She held my nose and closed my eyes and here’s what she said
Don’t you know the twist is dead
So come on over baby it’s time to give up rock and roll

You’ve got to give up rock and roll
You’ve got to give up rock and roll
You’re gonna have to find yourself another way to sooth your soul
You’re just annoyed by Timberlake
And you’ve never even heard of Drake
So Rama Lama Bam ya gotta give up Rock and Roll

So I went to see the doctor I said give me the news
Tell me what’s wrong with me
We’re gonna have to run some tests and then we gotta wait and see
She came back with a file as thick as War and Peace
And looked at me so tentatively
Said Dave you better sit down and you’re gonna have to listen to me

You’ve got to give up rock and roll
You’ve got to give up rock and roll
We did a colonoscopy and everything is under control
Your cholesterol is running low
You’ve got the prostate of a twenty year old
But Be-bop-a-lu you’ve got to give up that Rock and Roll

Well I dreamed I died while changing an electrical fuse
Wearing nothing but my blue suede shoes
God looked down upon me he said “son I see you’ve paid your dues”
But you don’t need a deity to tell you the truth
As you motor down the avenue
You’ll never get to heaven if you don’t believe in rhythm and blues

Don’t ever give up Rock N Roll
Don’t ever give up Rock N Roll
McCartney’s doin’ Beatles songs and he’s a hundred years old
Bobby’s rollin’ down on sixty-one
And the Stones will never be done
So never never ever never give up Rock and Roll

Don’t ever give up Rock and Roll
Don’t ever give up Rock and Roll
Never never ever never give up Rock and Roll
Don’t ever give up Rock and Roll
Don’t ever give up Rock and Roll
Never never ever never give up Rock and Roll

Don’t ever give up Rock and Roll
Don’t ever give up Rock and Roll
McCartney’s doin’ Beatles songs and he’s a hundred years old
Elvis Presley’s still singin' his hits
And he’s been dead since seventy-six
So never never ever never give up Rock and Roll
Be Bop a lu ya never give up Rock n Roll
Rama Lama Bam a Never give up Rock and Roll
