Rock and Roll Lullaby (15th Nov 2011)

Rock and Roll Lullaby
As the rocks all roll
and the Teddy Boys bowl
and their ducks stick smart
in the breeze
as the pinball rattles
and the flicks do battle
and the pony-tails
stand and tease

With the blue suede shoes
and the top ten news
as the drainpipes soak in the bath
the Memphis King sings
and the dance hall swings
and the blue beat
paves out the path



But the rocks still rolling
and old Ted's still strolling
and the crepes
still tread in the street
Yes it still lives on
though its dead and gone
Jimmy Dean's still
the man to meet
