The Oak Ridge Boys - Ain't No Cure For The Rock & Roll lyrics

I was still a boy when it happened to me I started shaking uncontrollably Doctor came and he shook his head And Mama cried when the doctor said Ah you can see the look on the poor boy's face Well he's been took with a terminal case Ain't a prayer no there ain't no hope You can hear the beat on my stethoscope Well it's rock and roll, rock and roll Can't be stopped it's out of control It's got his body now it's after his soul Ain't no cure for the rock and roll It wasn't very long until the dread disease Spread through the very best families Folks had heard bout the devil's curse But they all agreed this was a whole lot worse The tragedy of my neighborhood Was my best friend Johnny B Good And both our girl friends caught it too Talking 'bout Elvira and B-Bobbie Sue Walking the street with a friend of mine Shuffling my feet just to keep in time From out of nowhere came a guitar lick Nothing fancy but it did the trick I said I turned into a little dancing fool I thank my friend for keeping his cool He said give him room and he'll be just fine He's been this way since 1959
