Yee-haw! It was a one way trial and there's one way down The judge was the jury and the sheriff of the town Rock 'n' Roll is a felony And I was guilty in the first degree The judge-man said there was no parole for me Down come the hammer, thrown in the slammer With a homicidal freak with a f-f-funky stammer We all have our criminal tendencies Rock 'n' roll is a social disease The judge-man said there was no parole For rock 'n' roll There's no parole for rock 'n' roll! There's no parole for rock 'n' roll! Well, years gone by and I've done some time Ain't no reform where there ain't no crime
I'd rather dance at the end of a noose Than stay right here, so I'm bustin' loose The judge-man said there was no parole For rock 'n' roll There's no parole for rock 'n' roll! There's no parole for rock 'n' roll! There's no parole for rock 'n' roll! There's no parole for rock 'n' roll! There's no parole for rock 'n' roll! There's no parole for rock 'n' roll! The judge-man said there was no parole For rock 'n' roll There's no parole for rock 'n' roll! The judge-man said there was no parole For rock 'n' roll There's no parole for rock 'n' roll! There's no parole for rock 'n' roll!
