RAISED ON ROCK ’N’ ROLL

Daddy met Mama at a rock ‘n’ roll show
They were rockin’ to the rhythm but they had to go
They rushed downtown, got married “toute suite”
Took a taxi back to the show and didn’t miss a beat
They were born to boogie, they were raised on rock ’n’ roll

Raised on rock ’n’ roll (bet your boogie woogie)
Raised on rock ’n’ roll (bet your boogie woogie)
Born to boogie, I was raised on rock ’n’ roll

Mama told Daddy I was on the way
He bought blue suede baby shoes the very next day
And Mama kept rockin’ like a Suzy-Q
Singin’ “Shakin’ Up Baby” till the day I was due
I was born to boogie, raised on rock ’n’ roll

To get an education, this is what I had to do
Took readin’, writin, ’rithmetic, and rock ’n’ roll too
My high school teacher called me “Little Daddy Cool”
And the lunchroom was a jumpin’ from jammin’ after school
I was born to boogie, raised on rock ’n’ roll

chorus

Then one fine day I met Sherry
I knew she’s the one for me,
So I said, “Hey, hey let’s get married
And we’ll have a baby bopper or two or three!” (You and me!) (Wait and see!)
And they’ll all be
