Listen everybody let me tell you 'bout the rock'n'roll 
                                    E 
Feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your soul 
            D                              A 
She said come along with me, to a land of make believe 
                             E            A 
She said whamalamabamalama rock'n'roll is king 
 

A 
She loves that rock'n'roll and she plays it all night long 
                                    E 
That's all she ever tells me when I call her on the telephone 
            D                              A 
She says feel that jumpin' beat, and git up on your feet 
                             E            A 
She says whamalamabamalama rock'n'roll is king 
 
Chorus: 
A                  D 
Oh let those guitars play 
            A 
Play for me play for me 
                  D 
Oh let that song ring out 
      E            E7 
That's how it's meant to be 
 

A 
It rolls like a train that's comin' on down the track 
                                    E 
She rolled over Beethoven and she gave Tchaikovsky back 
            D                                          A 
She loves that drivin' beat, she goes dancin' on down the street 
                                     E            A 
She said whamalamabamalama rock'n'roll is king 
 

A                  D 
Oh let those guitars play 
            A 
Play for me play for me 
                  D 
Oh let that song ring out 
      E            E7 
That's how it's meant to be 
 

A 
When she comes around and I'm listenin' to the radio 
                                    E 
She says you can't do that 'cos all I wanna do is rock'n'roll 
            D                                          A 
Now here I'm gonna stay when that music starts to play 
                                     E            A 
She says whamalamabamalama rock'n'roll is king
