All Mama's ChildrenThere was an old woman that lived in a shoe
Had so many children, she didn't know what to do
They were doin' all right, 'til she took 'em to town
The kids started pickin' 'em up and puttin' 'em down
Now all your children wanna rock, mama
All your children want to roll
They wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop 'til they pop
All your children want to rock
All Shook UpWell, bless my soul, what's wrong with me ?
I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree
The friends say I'm acting wild as a bug
I'm in love, I'm all shook up
My hands are shaky and my knees are weak
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you thank when you have such luck ?
Birth of Rock And RollWell Nashville had country music but Memphis had the soul
Lord, the white boy had the rhythm and that started rock and roll
And I was here when it happened don't you all think I ought to know
I was here when it happened, yeah, yeah, yeah
I watched Memphis give birth to rock and roll, lord, lord yeah.
Well the cat named Elvis be-bopped in to Sun right off the street
Sang "Blue Moon of Old KY" but he did it with a brand new beat
Blue Suede ShoesWell, it's one for the money,

Boppin' The BluesWell, all my friends are boppin' the blues; it must be goin' round
All my friends are boppin' the blues; it must be goin' round
I love you, baby, but I must be rhythm bound
Well, the doctor told me, Carl you need no pills.
Yes, the doctor told me, boy, you don't need no pills.
Just a handful of nickels, the juke box will cure your ills.
Born To RockMy mama told me she said son if I don't stop
Mama you're just a little bit late cause your cat's got to rock
I feel the rhythm in me, rockabilly music sends me wild
I'm afraid it does, mama
Ah, excuse me ma, cause I can't stop
This rockabilly was born to rock
Born to rock, born to roll
Dixie FriedWell on the outskirts of town, there's a little night spot
Dan dropped in about five o'clock
Pulled off his coat, said "The night is short."
He reached in his pocket and he flashed a quart
And hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with ya!
Rave on, cats," he cried
"It's almost dawn and the cops are gone
Let's all get Dixie fried"
