Listen everybody let me tell you 'bout the rock'n'roll 
                                E
Feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your soul 
          D                        A
She said come along with me, to a land of make believe 
                   E     A
She said whamalamabamalama rock'n'roll is king 
 
A
She loves that rock'n'roll and she plays it all night long 
                               E
That's all she ever tells me when I call her on the telephone 
         D                           A
She says feel that jumpin' beat, and git up on your feet 
                   E     A
She says whamalamabamalama rock'n'roll is king 
 
Chorus: 
A               D
Oh let those guitars play 
          A
Play for me play for me 
               D
Oh let that song ring out 
     B           E7
That's how it's meant to be 
 
A
It rolls like a train that's comin' on down the track 
                            E
She rolled over Beethoven and she gave Tchaikovsky back 
         D                                  A
She loves that drivin' beat, she goes dancin' on down the street 
                       E      A
She said whamalamabamalama rock'n'roll is king 
 
A               D
Oh let those guitars play 
          A
Play for me play for me 
               D
Oh let that song ring out 
     E           E7
That's how it's meant to be 
 
A
When she comes around and I'm listenin' to the radio 
                              E
She says you can't do that 'cos all I wanna do is rock'n'roll 
         D                               A
Now here I'm gonna stay when that music starts to play 
                       E      A
She says whamalamabamalama rock'n'roll is king
