Rock Is Dead #2 Songtext

Now, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.



I want to talk to them little peoples.

Now I want to talk to them peoples

And I want to tell them how I feel.
I got a few things on my chest

And I gotta them off.



Are you ready?

Are you ready?

Now listen, listen,

Listen, listen, listen.



Now I don't want to hear

No talk about no revolution.

And I swear to God I don't want to hear

No talk about no constitution.

And in my frame of mind

I am in no mood for no talk

About no cremation.

The only thing I'm interested in

And this is what I want to tell ya

And this is from the heart

Now what I'm talking about,



Now children,

Now this summer, baby

I want you to be out there in the park

Out there in the dark

I want you to have some summer

I want to see some dancin'

In the street

I want to see some prancin'

From the folks I meet

I want to have a good time

I don't want to hear no talk

About no riots

No demonstrations.

No calsitrations.

No inplabermations.

There's only one thing I wanna see.

That's some dancin'

We're gonna have some fun,

We're gonna have a good time.



Ah, boogie.

All night long.

Let's boogie.

All right.



Yeah.



Rockin' little woman be my pal.

Rock a baby gonna feel alright, yeah.

Rock 'n' roll all night long

You gotta rock a little boogie

Rock a little boogie till you boop, bop, yeah.



You gotta feel.

Gotta feel.

Gotta beep, bop, boo.

Gotta deek, dock, doo.

You gotta love, love,

Love your baby little lotta...

Yeah, c'mon.



Yeah, wait a minute.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.



Now listen here, people.

I'm not talkin' to you

About some revolution.

And I swear to you

I ain't talkin' about no constitution

I'm talkin' about

The death of rock 'n' roll.

And who killed it.

I'm talkin' about the blues.

I'm talkin' about the news.



Have you heard?

Have you heard?

Have you heard the word?

Rock is dead.

Rock is dead.

Rock is dead.



Now I didn't want to be the one

To lay it on ya, sweetheart.

But I used to be a little fellow traveller.

I used to listen to my radio.

I used to think we had the whole thing sewed up, momma.

Then I realized

Rock and roll is dying baby.



Now listen sweetheart,

I gonna talk to you

About no revolution.

I ain't gonna talk

About no constitution.

I ain't gonna talk

About anything we used to have.

I'm gonna talk about the summer comin'.



Come on.



Yeah, all right.



Rock and roll woman, rock and roll woman.

Rock and roll woman, rock and roll woman.

Rock and roll woman.



You gotta rock,

Rock around the clock, yeah.

All right.

You gotta rock,

Rock around the world tonight.



Seen everything there is to see.

Seen everything there is to be.

Love my baby all night, yeah.

Love my woman in the bright midnight.

Love my girl, feel all right.

Come on love, love, love all baby tonight.

Yeah, love.

Ah love

Ah, all right child.

Come on feel.

Gonna touch me all day and night.
