Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
But when evening rolls around and it's time to go to town
Where do you go, to rock and roll

The old folks say that you gotta end your date by ten
But if you're out on a date don't you bring her home late, it's a sin
Just you know there's no excuse and you know you're gonna lose
And you never win
I'll say it again

And it's all because
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
But when evening rolls around and it's time to go to town
Where do you go, to rock and roll

I pulled into a drive-in and I found a place to park
You hopped into the backseat where you know it's nice and dark
We're just about to move and thinkin' it's a breeze
There's a light in my eye and a guy says "Out of the car, long hair"
"You're coming with me", the local police

And it's all because
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
But when evening rolls around and it's time to go to town
Where do you go, to rock and roll
Where do you go, to rock and roll
Where do you go, to rock and roll
