lyrics

1. Vers:
He was born in chains, just tried to find his own way,
8 years in High School, 8 years with the blues.
With Johnny Cash in his ears & „The King“ had let start his tears.

Early years of his life, he was bored of being bored,
he had a gang and there he was a man.
Every single friday night, they went out on the street, what a sight.

Chorus:
Yeah they danced Rock´n´Roll side by side
Yeah they danced Rock´n´Roll turn off the light
Boys were more than just boys & girls more than just girls,
yeah they danced Rock´n´Roll, all over the world.

2. Vers:
When he turned 16 in 1988, he met a little chick, she was called Kate,
Cuck Berry´d cause her senseless nights &
Gene Vincent then had brought her back to life.

Just one year later, they got married in L.A.,
there was a new start, with a common way,
Nothing stayed as it had been, oh wait a second, there was one last thing.

Chorus:
Yeah they danced Rock´n´Roll side by side
Yeah they danced Rock´n´Roll turn off the light
Boys were more than just boys & girls more than just girls,
yeah they danced Rock´n´Roll, all over the world.

3. Vers:
Now it´s the year 1993, they have a house somewhere there in New Jersey,
their little cat and there son, Ray & Buddy, yes they have fun.

Chorus:
Yeah they danced Rock´n´Roll side by side
Yeah they danced Rock´n´Roll turn off the light
Boys were more than just boys & girls more than just girls,
yeah they danced Rock´n´Roll, all over the world.
