Chorus
Don’t knock the rock, Don’t knock the rock
Don’t knock the rock, Don’t knock the rock
Well my baby don’t do nothin’ but rock and roll, that’s all

Verse

  1. You can knock bebop and you can knock swing
    Say what you want about any old thing
    Don’t knock the rock, etc. . .

Interlude

  1. When my baby dances, she’s as tall as a clown
    If she ever fell she’d have to fall out of town
    Dances in the kitchen with her feet in the hall
    Rollin’ and rock, she’s havin’ a ball, well

Verse

  1. You can knock mambo or dozey do’s
    Say what you want about any of those
    But don’t knock the rock, etc. . .

Interlude

  1. When my baby’s dancin’ she’s really alive
    Grabs herself a partner, mister five by five
    Swings him from a tree, like a happy baboon
    Two steps back, throws him over the moon, well

Verse

  1. You can knock at the jive and the boogie beat
    Kick about these with both of your feet
    But don’t knock the rock, etc. . .
