When Ricky was young He picked up the steel guitar And feelin' the heat He picked up the beat And overnight became a star Leaving a trail of glory and gold He ran out of time before he got old He's still alive in my soul
And he's rockin' the night away And all the angels came out to play Let's do the rock, rock, rock Roll, roll, roll tonight
And he's rockin' the night away And Mary Lou, she is here to stay Let's do the rock 'n' roll tonight And feel alright
If Elvis were here He'd know how to shake the night He'd make you move Get into the groove Dancin' till the morning light And Buddy could sing Otis had everything Jimmy was loud He made us so proud They're still alive with us tonight
And he's rockin' the night away And all the angels came out to play Let's do the rock, rock, rock Roll, roll, roll tonight
And he's rockin' the night away And Peggy Sue, she is here to stay Let's do the rock 'n' roll tonight And feel alright
Let's do the rock Let's do the rock Let's do the rock And feel alright
