Rock and Roll Lullaby - Steve Tyrell, B.J. Thomas

She was just sixteen

And all alone when I came to be So we grew up together

My mama-child and me Now things were bad and she was scared

But whenever I would cry

She’d calm my fear and dry my tears

With a rock and roll lullaby

And she’d sing

Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na

It’ll be all right

Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na

Just hold on tight

Sing it to me, mama

My, my, my, my, mama

Sing it sweet and clear

Oh mama, let me hear

That old rock and roll lullaby

We made it through the lonely days

But, Lord, the nights were long

And we’d dream of better mornin’s

When mama sang a song

Now I can’t recall the words at all

It don’t make sense to try

'Cause I just knew lotsa love came through

In that rock and roll lullaby

And she’d sing

Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na

It’ll be all right

Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na

Just hold on tight

I can hear ya, mama

My, my, my, my mama

Nothin' moves my soul

Like the sound of the good old

Rock and roll lullaby
