I saw him dancin' there by the record machine I knew he must a been about seventeen The beat was goin' strong Playin' my favorite song An' I could tell it wouldn't be long Till he was with me, yeah me And I could tell it wouldn't be long Till he was with me, yeah me, singin' I love rock n' roll So put another dime in the jukebox, baby I love rock n' roll So come and take your time and dance with me Ow! He smiled so I got up and asked for his name That don't matter, he said, 'Cause it's all the same Said can I take you home where we can be alone An' next we were movin' on He was with me, yeah me Next we were movin' on He was with me, yeah me, singin' I love rock n' roll So put another dime in the jukebox, baby I love rock n' roll So come an' take your time an' dance with me Ow! Said can I take you home where we can be alone Next we were movin' on He was with me, yeah me, An we'll be movin' on An' singin' that same old song Yeah with me, singin' I love rock n' roll So put another dime in the jukebox, baby I love rock n' roll So come an' take your time an' dance with me I love rock n' roll So put another dime in the jukebox, baby I love rock n' roll So come an' take your time an' dance with I love rock n' roll So put another dime in the jukebox, baby I love rock n' roll So come an' take your time an' dance with I love rock n' roll So put another dime in the jukebox, baby I love rock n' roll So come an' take your time an' dance with I love rock n' roll So put another dime in the jukebox, baby I love rock n' roll So come an' take your time an' dance with me
nice version. one of a host of songs we would have loved to hear elvis tackle. doubtless he would have given this his distinctive twist, as he did to so many tunes he covered, and made it his own. how lucky i am to have lived through the continuing saga of rock 'n' roll (being 12 in '56 i got to catch it from the get-go and it sure has been fun). each decade has built upon the past, adding new wrinkles, leaving me marveling at the ingenuity, the ability to assimilate and create. the last decade has left me flat; i must be getting old. enjoy the next 5 decades kids; may your journey be as delightful as mine.
Superb, just superb. I have this song stuck into my head on repeat. I use videore to loop it! Just replace youtube with videore in the browser bar and done!
