please mr. mayor

shakin' stevens

please mr mayor don't ban rock'n'roll

please mr mayor don't ban rock'n'roll

there's a rythm that'll send me and a beat that'll move my soul

please mr mayor let those records play

please mr mayor let those records play

it was enough to make me happy and clap my blues away

now they had the charlston when you were young

you all know how the dance was done

you ate the big apple and the jelly roll

all i wanna do is rock'n'stroll

oh please mr mayor don't let the music stop

oh please mr mayor don't take away the rock

because without that backbeat my life is just a flum

please mr mayor let those records play

please mr mayor let those records play

it was enough to make me happy and clap my blues away

now constant music just leaves me cold

ain't no beat there i can't stroll

dancing to the ballet is kind of tough

give me a treat and i'll strut my stuff

please mr mayor don't ban rock'n'roll

please mr mayor don't ban rock'n'roll

there's a rythm that'll send me and a beat that'll move my soul

please mr mayor

please mr mayor

please mr mayor

please mr mayor

please mr mayor

please mr mayor

please mr mayor

please mr mayor

please mr mayor
