Well, when I first got to Memphis, E-Doublin' I was knocked out by these friendly people They all said, howdy, howdy, come on in We don't know the meaning of the word outsider I said, you all play this kind of music Well, that's something I would surely like to know I was a boy, heard this wild kind of music I think they called it good old rock and roll Can you tell me what you know about rock and roll? They said, son, it's just a feeling, we're not in the zone Just a simple story with this wild rock and roll People all aboard in Louisiana call it rock and roll But I'll tell you a secret, it drives the women crazy And that's all you need to know about rock and roll Well, you could not imagine the shape my head was in It took me a walk down by the Mississippi Well, I heard this rockin' music comin' out of the Harbor Inn I couldn't resist, I had me a drink, then I had me a listen I said to the boys in the band, you gotta break That's something that I'd really like to know When I was a boy, I heard this wild kind of music And I think they called it rock and roll Can you tell me what you know about rock and roll? They said, son, it's just a feeling, we're not in the zone Just a simple story with this wild rock and roll All the boys in Louisiana call it rock and roll But I'll tell you a secret, it drives the women crazy And that's all you need to know about rock and roll *
