[Verse 1]
Well it's just another morning at the shady rest
Home for the injured & the convalesced
Let's take a little stroll down the Wild West wing
And see what's a happening
Now Harry's in the first room heading down the
Hall but he ain't a poppin pills or swigging Geritol
Ask him what his secret is at 93
He'll say a double dose of Basie & a Ella FitzG
[Chorus]
You gotta keep on
Keep on Rockin
Keep in Rockin til you're dead & gone
Clock on the wall is a tick tockin
But the boogie woogie oogie is your antidote
You gotta keep on rockin or you'll turn to stone
Now Darla is a diva in a 102
Singing showstoppers dancing with a bro
Her boyfriend Floyd is quite the catch
Caues he can play his dentures like castanets
Now Wandas on a walker & she's on the move
A pink house coat & blue suede shoes
Rose is her rookie & she's frail & grey
But she can skiddly open dweedle Dee n deedle all day
[Chorus]
You gotta keep on
Keep on Rockin
Keep in Rockin til you're dead & gone
Clock on the wall is a tick tockin
But the boogie woogie oogie is your antidote
You gotta keep on rockin or you'll turn to stone
[Verse 1]
Now every now & then when the moon
Is full a walking canes stuck in the door handle
The doctors & the nurses look the other way
As the whole place starts to shake
They take a microphone where they play bingo
Shove it in the speaker of the stereo
The saxophone shrieks & the bass drum pounds
But they never ever ever ever ever turn it down
Chorus]
You gotta keep on
Keep on Rockin
Keep in Rockin til you're dead & gone
Clock on the wall is a tick tockin
But the boogie woogie oogie is your antidote
You gotta keep on rockin or you'll turn to stone
Chorus]
You gotta keep on
Keep on Rockin
Keep in Rockin til you're dead & gone
Clock on the wall is a tick tockin
But the boogie woogie oogie is your antidote
You gotta keep on rockin or you'll turn to stone
