    Pick up my sweetie pie 
    C 
    She's my rock'n'roll baby 
    C 
    She's the apple of my eye, 'cause I'm ready... 
 
    Flat top cats and the dungaree dolls 
    Are headed for the gym to the sock hop ball 
    The joint is really jumping 
    The cats are going wild 
    The music really sends me 
    I dig that crazy style 'cause 
 
    Gonna kick off my shoes 
    Roll up my faded jeans 
    Grab my rock'n'roll baby 
    Pour on the steam 
    I shuffle to the left 
    I shuffle to the right 
    I'm gonna rock'n'roll 
    Till the early early night 'cause
