Rockin' Oliver

(Berry)

HEAVY GUITAR INTRODUCTION

Well gonna write a little letter
Gonna mail it to my local D.J.
It's a rockin' little record
I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven
I gotta hear it again today

You know my temperature's risin'
And the jukebox's blowin' a fuse
My hearts beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps singing the blues
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikovsky the news

I got a rockin' pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I think I got it off the writer

Sittin' down by the rhythm review
Roll over Beethoven
We're rockin' in two by two

Well if you felt you like it
Well get your lover and reel and rock it
Roll it over and move on up
Just jump around and reel and rock it
Roll it over
Roll over Beethoven
A rockin' in two by two , oh

Well early in the mornin'
I'm a givin' you the warnin'
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey little little
Gonna play my fiddle
Ain't got nothing to lost
Roll over Beethoven
and tell Tchaikovsky the news

 

You know she winks like a glow worm
Dance like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy partner
Oughta see 'em reel an rock
Long as she's got a dime
The music will never stop

Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven

And dig these rhythm and blues

GUITAR ENDING

ROCK AROUND THE TOWN
Tommy Steele
(T. Steele)

I was in London a short time ago,
I said to my friend, your car's too slow,
He turned round to me and said, you with the fuss,
Go take a ride on a downtown bus!
Rock, rock, rock around the town,
Rock, rock, rock around the town,
Baby, roll, roll, roll around the town,
Rock, rock rock around the town,
Everybody's doin' it, London Bridge is falling down!

He got in a monster, it was painted red,
A guy in blue turned to me and said,
His words were followed by quite a stare,
I said what you want? He said I want your fare!
Rock, rock, rock around the town,
Rock, rock, rock around the town,
Baby, roll, roll, roll around the town,
Rock, rock rock around the town,
Everybody's doin' it, London Bridge is falling down!

And I can say we saw every sight,
When we came back we looked around,
Well what you know? we're back in London town!

JOHNNY B. GOODE

Rockin' Oliver

(C. Berry)

 

GUITAR INTRODUCTION

 

Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans,

Back up in the woods, upon the Evergreens,

There stood a log cabin, made of earth and wood,

Where there lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode,

Who never ever learned to read or write so well,

But he could play the guitar like he's ringing a bell. Go Go!

 

Go Johnny Go Go Go!

Go Johnny Go Go!

Go Johnny Go Go!

Go Johnny Go Go Go!

Johnny B. Goode!

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack,

Sat beneath the tree, by the railway track,

0l' engineer would see him sittin' in the shade,

Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers' made,

People passing by they're gonna stop and say,

Oh my, but that little country boy can play. Go Go!

 

Go Johnny Go Go Go!

Go Johnny Go Go!

Go Johnny Go Go!

Go Johnny Go Go Go!

Johnny B. Goode!

 

GUITAR INSTRUMENTAL

 

His mother told him some day you will be a man,

You will be the leader of a big ol' band,

Many people comin' down from miles around,

Hear you play your music when the sun goes down.

Maybe some day your name will be in lights,

Sayin' Johnny B. Goode tonight. Go Go!

Go Johnny Go! Go Go

Go Johnny Go! Go Go

Go Johnny Go! Go Go

Go Johnny Go! Go

Johnny B. Goode!

THAT'LL BE THE DAY

Rockin' Oliver

(Allison, Petty, Holly)

 

GUITAR INTRODUCTION

 

Well that'll be the day when you say goodbye,

That'll be the day when you make me cry,

You say you're gonna leave me, you know it's a lie,

'Cause, that'll be the day when I die.

 

You give me all your lovin'

And all your turtle-dovin'

All your hugs and kisses, and your money too.

You know you love me baby,

Still you tell maybe,

That some day, well, I'll be blue.

 

Well that'll be the day when you say goodbye,

That'll be the day when you make me cry,

You say you're gonna leave me, you know it's a lie,

'Cause, that'll be the day when I die.

 

GUITAR INSTRUMENTAL

Well that'll be the day when you say goodbye,

That'll be the day when you make me cry,

You say you're gonna leave me, you know it's a lie,

'Cause, that'll be the day when I die.

 

When Cupid shot his dart,

He shot it at your heart,

So if we ever part, then I'll leave you.

You say you'll hold me, then you tell me boldly,

That some day, well I'll be blue.

 

Well that'll be the day when you say goodbye,

That'll be the day when you make me cry,

You say you're gonna leave me,

You know it's a lie,

'Cause, that'll be the day when I die.

 

That'll be the day, Ooh-Ooh.

That'll be the day, Ooh-Ooh.

That'll be the day, Ooh-Ooh.

That'll be the day.

JAILHOUSE ROCK

Rockin’ Oliver and Artful Bopper

(Leiber and Stoller)

 

GUITAR INTRODUCTION

 

The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
You should've heard them knocked out jailbirds sing
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang
The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

GUITAR INSTRUMENTAL

Number forty-seven said to number three
Well you're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Sad sack was sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone
The warden said, Hey, buddy, don't you be no square
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Shifty Henry said to Bugs, For Heaven's sake
No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, Nix nix
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
