Lyric
I was still a boy when it happened to meI started shaking uncontrollablyDoctor came and he shook his headAnd Mama cried when the doctor saidAh you can see the lookOn the poor boy’s faceWell he’s been took with a terminal caseAin’t a prayer no there ain’t no hopeYou can hear the beat on my stethoscopeWell it’s rock and roll, rock and rollCan’t be stopped it’s out of controlIt’s got his body now it’s after his soulAin’t no cure for the rock and rollIt wasn’t very long until the dread diseaseSpread through the very best familiesFolks had heard bout the devil’s curseBut they all agreed this wasA whole lot worseThe tragedy of my neighborhoodWas my best friend Johnny B GoodAnd both our girl friends caught it tooTalking ’bout Elvira and B-Bobbie SueWalking the street with a friend of mineShuffling my feet just to keep in timeFrom out of nowhere came a guitar lickNothing fancy but it did the trickI said I turned into a little dancing foolI thank my friend for keeping his coolHe said give him room and he’ll be just fineHe’s been this way since 1959
