kay starr - the rock and roll waltz lyrics

(words by roy alfred and music by shorty allen)
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

a-one, two, and then rock
a-one, two, and then roll
they did the rock and roll waltz
a-rock, two, three
a-roll, two, three
it looked so cute to me
i love the rock and roll waltz

a-one, two, and then rock
a-one, two, and then roll
a-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!

a-one, two, and then rock
a-one, two, and then roll
a-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
