Well, listen everybody let me tell you 'bout the rock 'n' roll
Oh, feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your soul
Hm, come along with me, to a land of make-believe
She said, "Wema lema lema lema, rock 'n' roll is king!"

She loves that rock 'n' roll and she plays it all night long
Oh, that's all she ever tells me when I call her on the telephone
She says, "Feel that jumpin' beat, and get up on your feet."
She says, "Wema lema lema lema, rock 'n' roll is king!"

Oh let those guitars play
Play for me play for me
Oh let that song ring out
That's how it's meant to be

Well, it rolls like a train that's comin' on down the track
She rolled over Beethoven and she gave Tchaikovsky back
Oh, she loves that drivin' beat, she goes dancin' on down the street
She said, "Wema lema lema lema, rock 'n' roll is king!"
Oh, rock on!

Oh let those guitars play
Play for me play for me
Oh let that song ring out
That's how it's meant to be

Well, when she comes around and I'm listenin' to the radio
She says, "You can't do that 'cause all I wanna do is rock 'n' roll."
Now here I'm gonna stay where that music starts to play
She says, "Wema lema lema lema, rock 'n' roll is king!"
Oh yeah, wema lema lema lema, rock 'n' roll is king
Oh ho, wema lema lema lema, rock 'n' roll is king
OOh yeah, wema lema lema lema, rock 'n' roll is king
She says, "Wema lema lema lema, rock 'n' roll is king!"
