One night I was late. Came home from a date,
4 5 6 -6 6 5 6 6-4
Slipped out of my shoes at the door.
4 5 6 -6 6 -5 -6 7 -8 7
There in the front room I heard a rock (jump) tune,
7 6 6 6 -7 7 -8 7
I looked in and here's what I saw.

There in the night was a wonderful scene,
6 -6 6 -5 -5 -5 -6 -7 -6 6 5 6
Mom was dancing with Dad to my record machine
7 -6 -7 7 -6 7 -6 6 5 6
And while they danced only one thing was wrong,
6 -6 -7 -7 -7 -8 7 -6 -7 -8 -7 -8
They were trying to waltz to a rock and roll song.
4 5 6 -6 6 -5 -6 7 -8 7
One, two and then rock. One, two and then roll.
4 5 -6 6 5 6 6-4
They did the rock and roll waltz.
4 5 6 4 5 6 -5 -6 7 -5 -6 7
Rock 2 3; roll 2 3; it looked so cute to me.

I love the rock and roll waltz.--repeat frin..."one, two and then rock..." to end
(A big hit for Kay Starr.)
