She was just 16 and no one long when I came to be
So we grew up together, my mama child and me
Now things were bad and she was scared but whenever I would cry
She calms my fears and dries my tears with her rock and roll lullaby
And she sings sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, we'll be alright
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, just hold on tight
Sing it to me mama, mama, mama, mama
Sing it sweet and clear, oh mama
Let me hear that old rock and roll lullaby
Now we made through the lonely days
But Lord, the nights are long
And we dreamed better moments when mama sang a song
Now I can't recall the words at all
It don't make a sense to try
'Cause I just knew lots of love came through
And the rock and roll lullaby
And she sings sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, it'll be alright
Sha-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, just hold on tight
I can hear you ma-ma, ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-ma
Nothing moves my soul like the sound of a good old rock and roll lullaby
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, it'll be alright
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, just hold on tight
I can hear you mama, mama, mama, mama
Nothing moves my soul like this song of a good old rock and roll lullaby
Sha-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
Just hold on tight
I can hear you ma-ma
Sha-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
Ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-ma
Nothing moves my soul like the sound of a good old rock'n'roll lullaby
