Neil Sedaka - You Gotta Learn Your Rhythm And Blues lyrics

The board of education from Maine to Tenessee Just don't dig that crazy ABC You know they teach us something different and they call it R & B You gotta learn your rhythm and blues Everybody's shoutin' the news Go out and buy a pair of rock and roll shoes Or brother you're gonna lose The time is incidental, the fun is fundemental When you learn your rhythm and blues No more readin' and writin' and 'rythmetic You got to know the three R's when the teacher swings the hickory stick Start a-reelin' and a-rockin' and a-rollin' with your chick You gotta learn your rhythm and blues Everybody's shoutin' the news Go out and buy a pair of rock and roll shoes Or brother you're gonna lose The time is incidental, the fun is fundemental When you learn your rhythm and blues When the teacher gives us homework everyone shouts hooray, hooray I got to go right home and study without delay I got to tune into Bandstand and get the lesson for today You gotta learn your rhythm and blues Everybody's shoutin' the news Go out and buy a pair of rock and roll shoes Or brother you're gonna lose The time is incidental, the fun is fundemental When you learn your rhythm and blues You gotta learn your rhythm and blues Everybody's shoutin' the news Go out and buy a pair of rock and roll shoes Or brother you're gonna lose The time is incidental, the fun is fundemental When you learn your rythm and blues
