Dm                          G                             Dm

Smack, crack, bushwhacked – tie another one to the racks, baby.

Hey, kids!  Rock and Roll! Nobody tells you where to go, baby.

F                                   Am

What if I ride?  What if you walk?  What if you rock around the clock?

G

Tick, tock, tick, tock

Em                                               G                 Dm

What if you did?  What if you walk?  What if you tried to get off, baby?

 

Hey kids, where are you?  Nobody tells you what to do, baby.

Hey kids, shake a leg, maybe you're crazy in the head, baby.

Maybe you did, maybe you walked.  Baby, you rocked around the clock.

Tick, tock, tick, tock

Maybe I ride.  Maybe you walk.  Maybe I drive to get off, baby.

 

Hey kids, shake a leg.  Maybe you're crazy in the head, baby

Ollie, Ollie, Ollie, Ollie, Ollie, Ollie, Ollie, in come free, baby.

Hey kids, where are you?  Nobody tells you what to do, baby.

 

Smack, crack, shackalack.  Tie another one to your back, baby.

Hey kids!  Rock and Roll!  Nobody tells you where to go, baby.

Maybe you did.  Maybe you walked.  Maybe you rock around the clock.

Tick, tock, tick, tock.

Maybe I ride.  Maybe you walk.  Maybe I drive to get off, baby.

 

Em                               G                     Dm

Hey kids, where are you?  Nobody tells you what to do, baby.

Hey kids, Rock and Roll!  Nobody tells you where to go, baby, baby, baby
