🎵 Let's sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

I saw him dancing there by the record machine

I knew he must have been about seventeen

The beat was going strong

Playing my favorite song

And I could tell it wouldn't be long till he was with me, yeah me

And I could tell it wouldn't be long till he was with me, yeah me


Singing, I love rock and roll

So put another dime in the jukebox, baby

I love rock and roll

So come and take your time and dance with me

Ow!


He smiled, so I got up and asked for his name

But that don't matter, he said, 'cause it's all the same

He said, "Can I take you home

Where we can be alone?"

And next we were moving on, he was with me, yeah me

Next we were moving on, he was with me, yeah me


Singing, I love rock and roll

So put another dime in the jukebox, baby

I love rock and roll

So come and take your time and dance with me

Ow!


He said, "Can I take you home

Where we can be alone?"

Next we're moving on, he was with me, yeah me

And we'll be moving on and singing that same old song, yeah with me


Singing, I love rock and roll

So put another dime in the jukebox, baby

I love rock and roll

So come and take your time and dance with me
