Rock & Roll Music - Gary Brooker & the Judy Blair quartet

http://www.procolharum.com for more from and about Procol Harum, whose lead singer and pianist Gary Brooker is seen here having a ball with Chuck Berry's 'Rock & Roll Music' - with the Judy Blair quartet at the 'SOS Haiti' concert in Cahors, SW France on 9th February 2010.

Here are the lyrics, which are certainly the of copyright Chuck Berry and his publishers:

Just let me hear some of that
Rock and roll music,
Any old way you choose it;
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be rock and roll music,
If you want to dance with me,
If you want to dance with me.

I've got no kick againt modern jazz,
Unless they try to play it too darn fast;
And change the beauty of the melody,
Until they sounded like a symphony,
That's why I go for that
Rock and roll music ...

I took my loved one over cross the tracks
So she can hear a man playin' the sax,
I must admit they have a rockin' sound,
Man they were going like a hurricane
That's why I go for that
Rock and roll music .....

Way down south they gave a jubilee,
The country folks they had a jamboree,
They're drinkin' homebrew from a wooden cup,
The folks are dancin' - they all shook up
And started playin' that
Rock and roll music ....

Don't care to hear 'em play a tango,
I'm in the mood to dig a mambo;
It's way to early for a congo,
So keep a rockin' that piano
So I can hear some of that
Rock and roll music ...
