Two TV sets and two Cadillac cars
Well, you know babe, it's not gonna help us at all
Then one fine morning she put on a New York station
She didn't believe baby what she heard at all
She started dancing to that fine, fine music
You know, her life was saved by rock 'n' roll
[Chorus]
Despite all the amputation
You could dance to a rock 'n' roll station
And it was all right, hey, babe
Now it was all right
Here she comes now!

She didn't believe what she heard at all
Oh she started dancing to that fine, fine music
You know her life was saved by rock 'n' roll
[Chorus]
It took no computation
To dance to a rock 'n' roll station
[Outro]
It was all right
It was all right
It was all right
It was all right
All right
All right
All right
All right
All right
All right
All right
All right
All right
All right
All right
