One night I was late, came home from a date Slipped out of my shoes at the door Then from the front room, I heard a jump tune I looked in and here's what I saw There in the night what a wonderful scene Mom was dancing with Dad to my record machine And while they danced, only one thing was wrong They were trying to waltz to a rock and roll song One, two and then rock One, two and then roll They did the rock and roll waltz Rock, two, three, roll, two, three It looked so cute to me I love the rock and roll waltz One, two and then rock One, two and then roll One, two and then jump It's good for your soul It's old but it's new Let's do the rock and roll waltz There in the night what a wonderful scene Mom was dancing with Dad to my record machine And while they danced, only one thing was wrong They were trying to waltz to a rock and roll song One, two and then rock One, two and then roll One, two and then jump It's good for your soul It's old but it's new Let's do the rock and roll waltz Let's do the rock and roll waltz
