She was just sixteen and all alone When I came to be So we grew up together My mamma tellin' me The things were better, she was scared But whenever I would cry She calmed my fears and dried my tears With a rock and roll lullaby And she sings shanna, na na... you'll be alright Shanna, na na, na na... just hold on tight Sing it to me mamma, sing it sweet and clear Oh, mamma, I can hear that old rock and roll lullaby Now we made it through the lonely days But loving eyes were long And the dreamer better moments When mamma sang a song Now I recall the words at all They don't mean sense to try 'Cause I knew lots of love came through In that rock and roll lullaby And she sings shanna, na na... you'll be alright Shanna, na na, na na... just hold on tight I can hear you mamma, nothing move my soul Like the sound of the good rock and roll lullaby
