WANDA JACKSON - ROCKABILLY FEVER lyrics

ROCKABILLY FEVER

Writer Carl Perkins

Lord, it came rollin' out of Memphis

Like a hurricane or Texas tornado

It came rollin' out of Memphis

Like a hurricane or a Texas tornado

Yeah, it did...

And they called us rockabillies

Long before they called it rock 'n' roll

We took a little country music

Put some pop in and dressed it up in soul

We took a little country music

Put some pop in and dressed it up in soul

That's all we did...

And they called us rockabillies

Long before they called it rock 'n' roll

Yeah, rockabilly fever

Looks like it's coming back again, mm-mm

Ah, rockabilly fever

Look out, it might get you my friend

If that fever starts to get you

Lay back son, you just might explode

If that fever starts to get you

Lay back son, you just might explode

Look out...

And they called us rockabillies

Long before they called it rock 'n' roll

That's what we were, play it guitar, here we go...

Well, Elvis started shakin'

And the whole world shook a little too

I said Elvis started shakin'

And the whole world shook a little bit too

He said, that's all right mama

Mama, don't you step on my blue suede shoes

That's what the boy said...

Oh, rockabilly fever

Looks like it's coming back again

Won't it be fun..

Rockabilly fever

Look out, it might get you my friend

If that fever starts to get you

Just lay back son, you just might explode

If that fever starts to get you

Just lay back son, you just might explode

Well, they called it rockabilly

Long before they called it rock 'n' roll, oh yeah

Come on let's rock

Come on let's roll

Everybody let's rock

Everybody let's rock
