written back in 80s NYC..still seems to make sense!
lyrics
a little rock and roll
I may be wrong, I may be right
another dancing fool on a Saturday night
but a little rock and roll
never hurt anyone
if you got the notion, I got the time
perpetual motion, a perfect crime
and a little rock and roll
never hurt anyone
listen to the drums, listen to the bass
a rocking guitar and a pretty face
your blues disappear without a trace
what do you know, this must be the place
they say that great minds think alike
oh baby they got that right
and a little rock and roll
never hurt anyone
wallflowers hanging at the high school dance
trying to look cool but their missing their chance
doesn’t anyone ever learn
anything
they’re still talking ‘bout the words and the music
50 years later they still don’t know
that a little rock and roll
never hurt anyone
a little bit of that familiar stuff
does you nothing but good
a little bit of flash, a little bit of rough
listen to the wire, listen to the wood
they say that great minds think alike
oh baby they got that right
and a little rock and roll
never hurt anyone
