Once upon a time not so very long ago
   There wasn't such a thing as a rock'n'roll show
   You had to sit at home and listen to the radio
   Then came a man with a rockin' guitar
   Found himself a beat and he played it near and far
   Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll
  
   Again again again again again again again again
   Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
   Again again again again again again again again
   Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
  
   He travelled round the world in a rock-n-roll band
   He stood there like a giant with a guitar in his hand
   Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll
   Nobody cared about the clothes he would wear
   Nobody cared about the colour of his hair
   Everybody came to see and let the good times roll
  
   Again again again again again again again again
   Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
   Again again again again again again again again
   Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
  
   Now we've got the rhythm in us now we've got the rock
   Time didn't matter never living by the clock
   Everybody came to hear him playing his rock-n-roll
   Then came a line when the music didn't rhyme
   He couldn't find the rhyme 'cos he couldn't find the time
   But still the people came to listen to the good times roll
  
   Again again again again again again again again
   Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
   Again again again again again again again again
   Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
   Again again again again again again again again
   Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
   Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
