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
