Come along, gang and a-rock with me
Vive la rock and roll
On the boulevard in a-gay Paris
Vive la rock and roll
Are they rockin', are they rockin'?
Brother John, Brother John?
Rockin' on the right bank, rockin' on the left bank
All night long, all night long
Yes, they're rocking, yes, they're rocking
Sister Jane, Sister Jane
Rockin' on the right bank, rockin' on the left bank
Of the same, of the same
Vive la vive la company
Man, they're hip in gay Paris
Vive la vive la marcherie
Vive la rock and roll
Take me dancing, take me dancing
S'il vous plaît, s'il vous plaît
Look at Brother Jacques now, rock around the clock now
Night and day, Night and day
Now you're rocking, now you're rocking
Really gone, really gone
Rockin' on the right bank, rockin' on the left bank
All night long, all night long
Vive la vive la company
Man, they're hip in gay Paris
Vive la vive la marcherie
Vive la rock and roll
Vive la vive la company
Man, they're hip in gay Paris
Vive la vive la marcherie
Vive la rock and roll
Vive la vive la company
Man, they're hip in gay Paris
Vive la vive la marcherie
Vive la rock and roll
Vive la rock and roll
Vive la rock and roll
Vive la rock and roll
Vive la rock and roll
