She was just sixteen and all alone
When I came to be
And we grew up together
My mama child and me

Now things were bad and she was scared
But whenever I would cry
She'd clam my fears and dry my tears
With a rock and roll lullaby

And she'd sing
Sha na na na na, sha na na na
It'll be alright
Sha na na na na, sha na na na
You just hold on tight
I can hear you
Sha na na na, sha na na na na na na

Nothing freed my soul
Like the sound of a good old
Rock and Roll lullaby
We made it through the lonely years

When all the nights were long
And I dreamed of better moments
When mama sang a song
I can't recall the words at all
It don't make sense to try
I just knew lot's of love came through
With that rock and roll lullaby

And she'd sing
Sha na na na na, sha na na na
It'll be alright
Sha na na na na, sha na na na
You just hold on tight
I can hear you
Sha na na na, sha na na na na na na
