Permalinkyears ago I dashed off the words to a rockabilly song to show Dean how
easy it was and what type of lyrics belonged in rockabilly. Here are
those lyrics.
ROCK AND ROLL MAMA
Words by Bruce Grossberg
Music by Jim Colegrove
Well I got a baby who can't be beat
She's the hottest woman on two feet
Every guy in town wants to steal her away
But I never worry because there's no way
She and I go out and ball all night
We're so cool together, never had a fight
When the night is over and we're all alone
I make her scream and she makes me moan
She's a rock, rock, rock and roll mama
She's a rock, rock, rock and roll mama
She's a rock, rock, rock and roll mama
Rockin' all night and day
FIRST GUITAR BREAK
My baby and me will last forever
We'll never part, no, no, no, never
She's the sweetest thing that I've ever had
Always makes me happy, never makes me sad
She's a rock, rock, rock and roll mama
She's a rock, rock, rock and roll mama
She's a rock, rock, rock and roll mama
Rockin' all night and day
SECOND GUITAR BREAK
I've never been so happy in my life
As when my sweet girl became my wife
I know that me and her will never part
Because we love each other with all our heart
She's a rock, rock, rock and roll mama
She's a rock, rock, rock and roll mama
She's a rock, rock, rock and roll mama
Rockin' all night and day
So Jim has been working on recording the song and he's finished now. You
guys should get to hear it soon. First we are finalizing the mix, but
he's nailed the sound exactly as I envisioned it in my head when I wrote
the lyrics. He was also able to get an upright bass player for the bass
track which makes it sound more like authentic 1950s rockabilly then an
electric bass would.
Stay tuned.
