You Gotta Learn Your Rhythm and Blues
The Board of Education from Maine to Tennessee
Just don't dig that crazy ABC
You know, they teach us something different, and they call it R & B
You gotta learn your rhythm and blues
Everybody shoutin' the news
Go out and buy a pair of rock and roll shoes
Or brother you're gonna lose
Time is incidental, fun is fundamental
When you learn your rhythm and blues
No more readin' and writin' and arithmetic
You got to know the three R's when the teacher swings the hickory stick
Start a-reelin' and a-rockin' and a-rollin' with your chick
When the teacher gives out homework, everyone shouts hooray, hooray
I got to go right home and study without delay
I'm gonna tune into Bandstand and get the lesson for today
You gotta learn your rhythm and blues
Everybody shoutin' the news
Go out and buy a pair of rock and roll shoes
Or brother you're gonna lose
Time is incidental, fun is fundamental
When you learn your rhythm and blues
You gotta learn your rhythm and blues
You gotta learn your rhythm and blues, oh man
You gotta learn your rhythm and blues
You gotta learn your rhythm and blues
Just don't dig that crazy ABC
You know, they teach us something different, and they call it R & B
You gotta learn your rhythm and blues
Everybody shoutin' the news
Go out and buy a pair of rock and roll shoes
Or brother you're gonna lose
Time is incidental, fun is fundamental
When you learn your rhythm and blues
No more readin' and writin' and arithmetic
You got to know the three R's when the teacher swings the hickory stick
Start a-reelin' and a-rockin' and a-rollin' with your chick
When the teacher gives out homework, everyone shouts hooray, hooray
I got to go right home and study without delay
I'm gonna tune into Bandstand and get the lesson for today
You gotta learn your rhythm and blues
Everybody shoutin' the news
Go out and buy a pair of rock and roll shoes
Or brother you're gonna lose
Time is incidental, fun is fundamental
When you learn your rhythm and blues
You gotta learn your rhythm and blues
You gotta learn your rhythm and blues, oh man
You gotta learn your rhythm and blues
You gotta learn your rhythm and blues
