[Chorus]
Rock it, go on jerk it, child, work it
Rock it, go on take it, child, make it
Rock it, oh, singing the song
Viva, viva, rocking along

[Verse 1]
Grandma and Grandpa did the Charleston Rug
Aunt Mary and Uncle Joe, they did the Jitterbug
My sister used to do the Twist and Shout
But I'm with the Go-Go, I'm working on out

[Chorus]
Rock on, go on jerk it, child, work it
Rock on, go ahead and shake it, I can take it
Rock on, oh, my soul
Viva, viva, rock and roll

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Rock on, go on jerk it, child, work it
Rock on, go ahead and shake it, I can take it
Rock on, oh, my soul
Viva, viva, rock and roll
[Verse 2]
My mother had my sister learning Bach and Strauss
For years it was the only music in our house
But I got my guitar and I rearranged Bach
And came up with some good old folk and country rock

[Chorus]
Rock on, go ahead and jerk it, child, work it
Rock on, go ahead and take it, I can shake it
Rock on, oh, my soul
Viva, viva, rock and roll
