There was an old woman that lived in a shoe,

had so many children, she didn't know what to do.
          F5
They were doin' all right, till she took 'em to town,
    C5
the kids started pickin' 'em up and puttin' 'em down.

CHORUS:
     F5
Now, all your children wanna rock, Mama..
C5
All your children want to roll.
G5                                 F5
They wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop till they pop..

All your children wants to rock.

Rock now, go!

Well, we're not tryin' to live too fast..

And we might as well try to live in class.

We better move out before the rent comes due,
      C5
cause we wanna live in a blue suede shoe.

CHORUS:
     F5
Now, all your children wanna rock, Mama..

All your children want to roll.

Well, every night when it's quiet and still..

You can hear it echoing through the hill.

From a blue suede shoe on a mountain top..

all of mama's young 'uns are doin' the bop.

CHORUS:
     F5
Now, all your children wanna rock, Mama..
C5
All your children want to roll.
G5                                 F5
They wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop till they pop..

All your children wants to rock.

Rock now, go!

Now, all your children wanna rock, Mama..
