One night I was late, came home from a date
Slipped out of my shoes at the door
Then from the front room, I heard a jump tune
I looked in and heres what I saw

There in the night what a wonderful scene
Mom was dancing with Dad to my record machine
And while they danced, only one thing was wrong
They were trying to waltz to a rock and roll song!

a-one, two, and then rock
a-one, two, and then roll
They did the rock and roll waltz
a-rock, two, three, a-roll, two, three
It looked so cute to me
I love the rock and roll waltz

a-one, two, and then rock
a-one, two, and then roll
a-one, two, and then jump
Its good for your soul
Its old but its new
Lets do the rock and roll waltz

There in the night what a wonderful scene
Mom was dancing with Dad to my record machine
And while they danced, only one thing was wrong
They were trying to waltz to a rock and roll song!

a-one, two, and then rock
a-one, two, and then roll
a-one, two, and then jump
Its good for your soul
Its old but its new
Lets do the rock and roll waltz
Lets do the rock and roll walt
