Rock It For Me Lyrics - Simply Ella - Ella Fitzgerald

I heard it came to town, 

A new kind of rhythm, 

Spread around, 

Sort of set you sizzlin', 

Now I'm all through with symphony, 

Oh, rock it for me! 

Every night 

You'll see all the nifties 

Plenty tight, 

Swingin' down the fifties, 

Now they're all through with symphony, 

Ho ho ho, rock it for me!

LATEST SONG: Charlie Puth - 'Mother' - LYRICS 

Now it's true that once upon a time 

The opera was the thing, 

But today the rage is rhythm and rhyme, 

So won't you satisfy my soul 

With the rock and roll? 

You can't be tame 

While the band is playin'; 

It ain't no shame 

To keep your body swayin'! 

Beat it out in the minor key, 

Ho ho ho, rock it for me! 

Can't you hear me singin', la-la-la-la-la, 

While the band is swingin', 

Oh, Chick Webb's sockin' 

And the band is rockin', 

So send me lightly, politely, 

Brightly and slightly, 

Ho ho ho, rock it for me! 

Now I'm all through with this stuff they call symphony, 

Come on boys and sorta rock it for me! 

It's true that once upon a time 

The opera was the thing, 

But today the rage is rhythm and rhyme, 

So won't you satisfy my soul 

With the rock and roll? 

You can't be tame 

While the band is playin'; 

It ain't no shame 

To keep your body swayin'! 

Beat it out in the minor key, 

Oh rock it, 

Oh rock it, 

Say won't you rock it for me! 

Why even all the nifties, they don't want to hear any more symphony, 

I'm tellin' you Jack, you better get hip for yourself and rock it for me!
