"Rock and Roll Music" Lyrics

by Chuck Berry

As Released by Chuck Berry (1957)

Just let me hear some of that rock an' roll music.
Any ol' way you choose it.
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it.
Any ol' time you use it.
It's gotta be rock-roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.

I have no kick against modern jazz,
Unless they try to play it too darn fast,
And change the beauty of the melody,
Until it sounds just like a symphony,

That's why I go for that rock an' roll music,
Any ol' way you choose it.
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it.
Any ol' time you use it.
It's gotta be rock-roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.

I took my loved one over cross the tracks.
So she can hear my man a wailin' sax.
I must admit they have a rockin' band.
Man they were blowin' like a hurricane.

That's why I go for that rock 'an roll music,
Any ol' way you choose it.
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it.
Any ol' time you use it.
It's gotta be rock-roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.

Way down south they gave a jubilee,
The country folks they had a jamboree.
They're drinkin' homebrew from a wooden cup,
The folks dancin', got shook up,

And started playin' that rock 'an roll music,
Any ol' way you choose it.
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it.
Any ol' time you use it.
It's gotta be rock-roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.

Don't care to hear 'em play a tango.
I'm in the mood to dig a mambo,
It's way to early for the congo,
So keep a rockin' that piano,
So I can hear some of that rock 'an roll music,
Any ol' way you choose it.
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it.
Any ol' time you use it.
It's gotta be rock-roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.



As Released by the Beatles (1964)

Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music,
Any old way you choose it.
It's got a back beat, you can't blues it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be rock roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.

I've got no kick against modern jazz,
Unless they try to play it too darn fast.
And lose the beauty of the melody,
Until they sound just like a symphony.

That's why I go for that rock and roll music,
Any old way you choose it.
It's got a back beat, you can't blues it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be rock and roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.

I took my love on over 'cross the tracks,
So she can hear my man awail a sax.
I must admit they have a rockin' band,
Man, they were blowin' like a hurricane.

That's why I go for that rock and roll music,
Any old way you choose it.
It's got a back beat, you can't blues it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be rock and roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.

Way down South they had a jubilee,
Those Georgia folks they had a jamboree.
They're drinkin' home brew from a wooden cup,
The folks all dancin' got all shook up.

And started playin' that rock and roll music,
Any old time you use it.
It's got a back beat, you can't blues it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be rock and roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.

Don't care to hear 'em play a tango,
I'm in no mood to take a mambo.
It's way too early for a congo,
So keep rockin' that piano.

That's why I go for that rock and roll music,
Any old time you use it.
It's got a back beat, you can't blues it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be rock and roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.

"Maggie Mae" Lyrics

traditional, arr. by Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starkey

As Released by the Vipers Skiffle Group ("Maggie May") (1957)

Oh Maggie, Maggie May, they have taken her away
And she'll never walk down Lime street anymore
Well, that judge he guilty found her, for robbin' a homeward–bounder
You dirty, robbin' no good Maggie May

Now, I was paid off at the Pool, in the port of Liverpool
Well, three pound ten a week, that was my pay
With a pocket full of tin, I was very soon taken in
By a gal with the name of Maggie May

Now, the first time I saw Maggie, she took my breath away,
She was cruising up and down in Canning Place
She had a figure so divine, her voice was so refined
Well, being a sailor I gave chase

Now, in the morning I awoke, I was flat and stony broke
No jacket, trousers, waistcoat did I find
Oh, and when I asked her, where? She said, "My very dear sir,
They're down in Kelly's pawnshop number nine"

To the pawnshop I did go, no clothes there did I find
And the police, they took that gal away from me
And the judge he guilty found her of robbin' a homeward-bounder
She'll never walk down Lime Street anymore

Oh Maggie, Maggie May, they have taken her away
And she'll never walk down Lime street anymore
Well, that judge he guilty found her, for robbin' a homeward–bounder
You dirty, robbin' no good Maggie May



As Released by the Beatles (1970)

Oh dirty Maggie Mae, they have taken her away
And she never walk down Lime Street any more
Oh the judge he guilty found her
For robbing a homeward bounder
That dirty no good robbin' Maggie Mae

To the port of Liverpool
They returned me to
Two pounds ten a week, that was my pay

"Devil in Her Heart" Lyrics

by Richard P. Drapkin

As Released by the Donays ("Devil in His Heart") (1962)

(He's got the devil in his heart),
But his eyes, they tantalize.
(He's gonna tear your heart apart),
Oh, his lips, they really thrill me.

I'll take my chances,
For romance is
So important to me.
He'll never hurt me,
He won't desert me,
This someday you'll see.

(He's got the devil in his heart),
No, no, this I won't believe.
(He's gonna tear your heart apart),
No, not me will he deceive.

I can't believe that he'll ever ever go,
Not when he holds me,
And says he loves me so.
He'll never hurt me,
He won't desert me,
He's an angel sent to me.

(He's got the devil in his heart),
But his eyes, they tantalize.
(He's gonna tear your heart apart),
Oh, his lips, they really thrill me.

(No, don't take chances,
If your romance is
So important to you.)
He'll never hurt me,
He won't desert me,
This someday you'll see.

No, no, no, this I won't believe.

No, he's an angel sent to me.

"Roll Over Beethoven" Lyrics

by Chuck Berry

As Released by Chuck Berry (1956)

Well I'm gonna write a little letter,
I'm gonna mail it to my local DJ.
Yeah it's a jumpin' little record
I want my jockey to play.
Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today.

You know, my temperature's risin'
The jukebox's blowin' a fuse.
My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps a-singin' the blues.
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news.

I got the rockin' pneumonia,
I need a shot of rhythm and blues.
I caught the rollin' arthritis
Sittin' down at a rhythm review.
Roll over Beethoven they're rockin' in two by two.

Well, if you feelin' like it
Go get your lover, then reel and rock it.
Roll it over and then move on up just
A trifle further and reel and rock with it,
Roll it over,
Roll over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues.

Well, early in the mornin' I'm a-givin' you my warnin'
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
Hey diddle diddle, I am playin' my fiddle,
Ain't got nothin' to lose.
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news.

You know she wiggles like a glow worm,
Dance like a spinnin' top.
She got a crazy partner,
You oughta see 'em reel and rock.
Long as she got a dime the music won't never stop.

Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues.

"Till There Was You" Lyrics

by Meredith Willson

As Released by Peggy Lee (1961)

There were bells on the hill
But I never heard them ringing
No I never heard them at all
Till there was you

There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No I never saw them at all
Till there was you

And there was music and there were wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and you

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you

And there was music, wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and you

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you

"A Taste of Honey" Lyrics

by Bobby Scott and Ric Marlow

As Released by Lenny Welch (1962)

A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine

I think of your first kiss
And then I feel upon my lips again

A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine

I will return, I will return
I'll come back for the honey and you

Yours was the kiss that awoke my heart
There lingers still, though we're far apart

A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine

I will return, I will return
I'll come back for the honey and you

Though other lips may cling to mine
I know they'll never bring to mine

A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine

I will return, oh yes I will return
I'll come back (he'll come back)
For the honey (for the honey)
And you



As Released by the Beatles (1963)

A taste of honey
Tasting much sweeter than wine

I dream of your first kiss
And then I feel upon my lips again

I'll come back for the honey and you

Yours was the kiss that awoke my heart
There lingers still, though we're far apart

That taste of honey
Tasting much sweeter than wine

Oh I will return, yes I will return
I'll come back (He'll come back)
for the honey (For the honey)

"Baby It's You" Lyrics

by Mack David, Barney Williams, and Burt Bacharach

As Released by the Shirelles (1961)
It's not the way you smile that touched my heart.
It's not the way you kiss that tears me apart.

Many, many, many nights go by.
I sit alone at home and cry over you.
What can I do?
I can't help myself
'Cause, baby, it's you.
Baby, it's you.

Is it true what they say about you?
They say you'll never, ever, never be true.
It doesn't matter what they say.
I know I'm gonna love you any old way.
What can I do?
What 'bout you?
Don't want nobody, nobody.
Baby, it's you.
Baby, it's you.

Baby.

It doesn't matter what they say.
I know I'm gonna love any old way.
What can I do?
What 'bout you?
Don't want nobody, nobody.
Baby, it's you.
Baby, it's you.

Don't leave me alone.
Come on home.
Baby, it's you.
Baby, it's you.
You know I need your lovin'
You know I love you.

Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la

It's not the way you smile that touched my heart. (sha la la la la)
It's not the way you kiss that tears me apart.

Wa-oh, many, many, many nights go by,
I sit alone at home and I cry over you.
What can I do.
Can't help myself, 'cause baby, it's you.
Baby, it's you.

You should hear what they say about you, "cheat," "cheat."
They say, they say you never never never ever been true. (cheat cheat)

Wa-oh,
It doesn't matter what they say,
I know I'm gonna love you any old way.
What can I do, when it's true.
Don't want nobody, nobody, 'cause baby, it's you. (sha la la la la la la)
Baby, it's you. (sha la la la la la la)

Wa-oh,
It doesn't matter what they say,
I know I'm gonna love you any old way.
What can I do, when it's true.
Don't want nobody, nobody, 'cause baby, it's you. (sha la la la la la la)
Baby, it's you. (sha la la la la la la)
Don't leave me all alone...
Come on home...

"You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" Lyrics

by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

As Released by the Beatles (1965)

Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall.
If she's gone I can't go on
Feeling two-foot small.

Everywhere people stare
Each and every day.
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say.

Hey! you've got to hide your love away.
Hey! you've got to hide your love away.

How can I even try
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in.

How could she say to me
Love will find a way?
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say.

Hey! you've got to hide your love away.
Hey! you've got to hide your love away.

"You Won't See Me" Lyrics

by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

As Released by the Beatles (1965)

When I call you up your line's engaged.
I have had enough, so act your age.
We have lost the time that was so hard to find
And I will lose my mind
If you won't see me (you won't see me)
You won't see me (you won't see me).

I don't know why you should want to hide
But I can't get through, my hands are tied.
I won't want to stay, I don't have much to say
But I can turn away
And you won't see me (you won't see me)
You won't see me (you won't see me).

Time after time you refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind if I knew what I was missing.
((No I wouldn't, no I wouldn't))

Though the days are few, they're filled with tears
And since I lost you it feels like years.
Yes it seems so long, girl, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on
If you won't see me (you won't see me)
You won't see me (you won't see me)

Time after time you refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind if I knew what I was missing.
((No I wouldn't, no I wouldn't))

Though the days are few, they're filled with tears
And since I lost you it feels like years.
Yes it seems so long, girl, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on
If you won't see me (you won't see me)
You won't see me (you won't see me).

(Yeah) ooo (come on) la la la
(Oh yeah) ooo - la la la
Ooo - la la la.

"You Never Give Me Your Money" Lyrics

by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

As Released by the Beatles (1969)

You never give me your money
You only give me your funny paper
And in the middle of negotiations you break down.

I never give you my number
I only give you my situation
And in the middle of investigation I break down.

Out of college, money spent
See no future, pay no rent
All the money's gone, nowhere to go.

Any jobber got the sack
Monday morning turning back
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go.

But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
Oh, that magic feeling
Nowhere to go - nowhere to go.

Aah - ooo, aah - ooo, aah - ooo.

One sweet dream
Pick up the bags, get in the limousine.
Soon we'll be away from here
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away.

One sweet dream came true today
Came true today, came true today.
Yes it did, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah - nah

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
All good children go to heaven.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
All good children go to heaven.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
All good children go to heaven.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
All good children go to heaven.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
All good children go to heaven.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
All good children go to heaven.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
All good children go to heaven.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
All good children go to heaven.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
All good children...
