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
