Let The Boy Rock And Roll
The Lovin' Spoonful
LET THE BOY ROCK AND ROLL As recorded by The Lovin’ Spoonful (From the 1966 Album DAYDREAM) [Intro] N.C. I heard Mama and Papa talkin’ last night N.C. And I heard Mama say to Papa: Let that boy rock and roll [Verse 1] The neighbors are complainin’ and the schoolboard called twice today You know they think he’s a fool and his studies are slippin’ away He don’t think about nothin’ ’cept the rock and roll records that play [Verse 2] I say it’s all right Pa let the boy rock and roll He’s got a mind of his own and you know he’s got a musical soul And he’s gotta play music and you know we really can’t say no [Bridge] So Daddy don’t you worry if he’s crazy mad Go on and do what you think you should But Daddy don’t you call him Little Boy Bad When you know he could be Johnny B. Goode [Verse 3] I say it’s all right Pa let the boy sing his song In his brand new boots he needs a foot full of kickin’ the gong If his music is groovy you know he really can’t go wrong [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] So Daddy don’t you worry if he’s crazy mad Go on and do what you think you should But Daddy don’t you call him Little Boy Bad When you know he could be Johnny B. Goode [Verse 4] I say it’s all right Pa let the boy rock and roll He’s got a mind of his own and you know he’s got a musical soul If the music is groovy you know we really can’t say no [Outro]
