[Verse 1]
I saw some surfer girls in west L.A
And right away it got me thinking about my high school days
Well I was always kind of shy you know I never learned to dance
And I remember being nervous I was scared to take a chance
And it happened it was looking through my mamma's things
I found some rock and roll records and I learned to sing!

[Chorus 2]
Rock and roll to the rescue
Rock and roll to the rescue
Rock to the rescue
I said it rescued me
And it'll rescue you

[Verse 2]
Now believe it when I tell you that I never felt alive
Not till the night I started rocking to my mamma's 45
Well it was one for the money now and two for the show
Baby you better get already now and go cat go!
Yeah the long tall Sally got me bopping around the room
She sing be bop wadda loo bop a-whop bam boom

[Chorus 2]

[Verse 3]
So we got a band together now we're really quite the rage
Oh how I lose my inhibitions when I move across the stage
We're the hottest ticket going what a fantasy flight
They tell me fifty thousand people come to see us every night
[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]
