F                     Bb
One night I was late, came home from a date..
F                              C
slipped out of my shoes at the door.
F                         Bb
Then from the front room, I heard a jump tune,
C                             F
I looked in and here's what I saw.


[Verse 2]
Bb                         F
There in the night, what a wonderful scene.
        C                       F
Mom was dancing with Dad, to my record machine.
Bb                          F
And while they danced, only one thing was wrong..
          C         G          C
they were trying to waltz to a rock and roll song.


[Chorus]
F                        Bb
One, two, and then rock..one, two, and then roll.
F                          C
They did the rock and roll waltz.
F
Rock, two, three, roll, two, three..
Bb                       C                        F
It looked so cute to me, I love the rock and roll waltz.


[Chorus]
F                        
One, two, and then rock..one, two, and then roll.
Bb                       F
One, two, and then jump..it's good for your soul.
C                      Bb           C             F
It's old but it's new..let's do the rock and roll waltz.


[Verse 3]
Bb                         F

One, two, and then jump..it's good for your soul.
C                      Bb           C             F
It's old but it's new..let's do the rock and roll waltz.


[Outro]
Bb           C             F
Let's do the rock and roll waltz.(Fade.)
