Chuck Berry - Viva Viva Rock'n'Roll lyrics

Rock it, g'on jerk it, child, work it

Rock it, g'on take it, child, shake it

Rock it, singing the song

Viva, viva, rockin' along

Grandma and Grandpa did the Charleston Rug

Aunt Mary and Uncle Joe, they did the Jitterbug

My sister used to do the Twist and Shout

But I'm with the Go-Go, I'm workin' out

Rock on, g'on jerk it, child, work it

Rock on, go 'head and shake it

I can take it

Rock on, oh, my soul

Viva, viva, Rock and Roll

Rock and Roll

My mother had my sister learning Bach and Strauss

For years it was the only music in our house

But I got my guitar and I rearranged Bach

And came up with some good old folk and country rock

Rock on, go 'head and jerk it, child, work it

Rock on, go 'head and take it

I can shake it

Rock on, oh, my soul

Viva, viva, Rock and Roll
