Freddy Cannon Let's Put the Fun Back in Rock
& Roll Lyrics:
C'mon, everybody, let's Rock & Roll.
Na, na-na-na, na, na, na-na-na.
(Na, na-na-na, na, na, na-na-na.)
Shoop, shooby-doop; Shoop, shooby-doop.
(Shoop, shooby-doop; shoop, shooby-doop.)
Hey-ay-ay, what I say?
(Hey-ay-ay, what I say?)
I said, "Do you remember The Bop
[3] and The Stroll
[3] ?
And all the fun we had when we were sixteen years old,
Sippin' a soda down at the candy store?
And what's more,
We both tried to get to Friday night,
Parkin' on the beach in the pale moonlight.
Me and you in the back seat of a fifty-four Ford,
We weren't bored.
Then we made it to the drive-in show,
We never saw the picture, heard the radio.
Oh, baby, let's- put- the fun back in Rock & Roll."
Baby, let's put the fun back in Rock & Roll.
(C'mon.)
Let's put the fun back in Rock & Roll.
(Whoo!)
Let's- put- the fun back in Rock & Roll.
Na, na-na-na, na, na, na-na-na.
(Na, na-na-na, na, na, na-na-na.)
Shoop, shooby-doop; Shoop, shooby-doop.
(Shoop, shooby-doop; shoop, shooby-doop.)
Hey-ay-ay, what I say?
(Hey-ay-ay, what I say?)
I said, "I even remember your senior prom,
I was so nervous meetin' your dad and mom.
But everything worked out just as happy as can be.
Oh, you see,
We got married, had kids of our own,
[ Find more Lyrics on www.mp3lyrics.org/zXtP ]Now, some day, little mama, when they aren't home,
You'll say, 'Let's- put- the fun back in Rock & Roll.'"
[Instrumental break with backup singer softly repeating:]
(Let's put the fun back in Rock & Roll.)
(Let's put the fun back in Rock & Roll.)
(Whoo!)
(Let's- put- the fun back in Rock & Roll.)
(Let's put the fun back in Rock & Roll.)
(Let's put the fun back in Rock & Roll.)
(Let's- put- the fun back in Rock & Roll.)
I said, "I even remember your senior prom,
Now, I was so nervous meetin' your dad and mom.
But everything worked out just as happy as can be.
Oh, you see,
We got married, had kids of our own,
Now, some day, little mama, when they aren't home,
You'll say, 'Let's- put- the fun back in Rock & Roll.'"
C'mon, let me hear ya, now!
I said, "Let's put the fun back in Rock & Roll.
Let's put the fun back in Rock & Roll.
Let's- put- the fun back in Rock & Roll.
Let's put the fun back in Rock & Roll.
Let's put the fun back in Rock & Roll."
I said, "Let's- put- the fun back in Rock & Roll.
[Fade.]
Let's put the fun back in Rock & Roll.
Let's put the fun back in Rock & Roll..."
