Rock and Roll (Fais-Do-Do) Carl Perkins (Ft. Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash & Roy Orbison)

Well, when I first got to Memphis, T-E double N
I was knocked out by these friendly people
They all said "Howdy, howdy, come on in
We don't know the meaning of the word 'outsider'"

I said "People, you gonna play this kinda music
Well there's something I would surely like to know
When I was a boy I heard this wild kinda music
And I think they called it, oh, rock and roll
Can you tell me what you know about rock and roll?"

They said "Son, it's just a feeling, way down in your soul"
Just a simple story with this wild rock and roll"
Yeah, well all the boys in Louisiana called it rock and roll
But I'll tell you a secret: it drives the women crazy
And that's all you need to know about rock and roll

Well, you could not imagine the shape my head was in
I took me a walk down by the Mississippi
When I heard this rockin' music comin' out of the harbor inn
I couldn't resist, I had me a drink, then I had me a listen

I said to the boys in the band, "When you get a break
There's something that I'd really like to know
When I was a boy I heard this wild kinda music
And I think they called it rock and roll
Can you tell me what you know about rock and roll?"
