Let The Boy Rock 'N' Roll

Let The Boy Rock 'N' Roll - The Lovin' Spoonful

I heard Mama and Papa talkin' last night

And I heard Mama say to Papa: Let that boy rock and roll

The neighbor not complainin' and the schoolboy talked twice today

You know they think you're foolish study or slippin' away

He don't think about nothin' 'cept the rock and roll records that play

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

So Daddy don't you worry 'bout this crazy man

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 Good

I say it's all right Pa let the boy sing his song

In his brand new boots he needs a foot from a kick in the town

If his music is groovy you know he really can't go wrong

(instrumental)

So Daddy don't you worry 'bout this crazy man

Go on and do what you think you should

But please don't call him Little Boy Bad

When you know he could be Johnny B Good

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
