C5                           G5 
Your Mama don't dance and your Daddy don't rock n' roll 
C5  G5 
Your Mama don't dance and your Daddy don't rock n' roll 
D5                                               C5 
When evenin' rolls around and it's time to go to town 
                     G5 
where do you go        to rock and roll 

the old folks say that you gotta end your day by ten 

if you're out on a date and you bring it home late, it's a sin 

there just ain't no excuse and you know you're gonna lose and never win 

I'll say it again, (spoken)And it's all because ......  (repeat verse 1 

then bridge) 
Bb5 - C5  *                         Bb5 - C5  *  
you pull into a drive-in and find as place to park 
Bb5 - C5  *                               Bb5 - C5  *  
you hop into the back seat where you know it's nice and dark. 
Bb5 - C5  *                                  Bb5 - C5  *  
you're just about to move in, you're thinkin' it's a breeze 
Bb5 - C5  *                                              Bb5 - C5  *  
there's a light in your eye and then a guy says 

(spoken) "Out of the car, long hair" 
D5                     C5                              G5 
oo-wee, you're comin' with me, the local police 

(spoken) and it's all because..... (repeat verse 1 again then end with) 
G5 
Where do you go     to rock and roll (3 times. end on 
G5 )
