Lyrics Wanda Jackson – Rockabilly Fever
Text:
Lord, it came rollin’ out of Memphis
Like a hurricane or Texas tornado
It came rollin’ out of Memphis
Like a hurricane or a Texas tornado
Long before they called it rock ‘n’ roll
We took a little country music
Put some pop in and dressed it up in soul
We took a little country music
Put some pop in and dressed it up in soul
That’s all we did…
And we called us rockabilly
Long before they called it rock ‘n’ roll
Yeah, rockabilly fever
Looks like it’s coming back again, ah-ha
Rockabilly fever
Look out, it might get you my friend
If that fever starts to get you
Lay back son, you just might explode
If that fever starts to get you
Lay back son, you just might explode
Well, they called us rockabilly
Long before they called it rock ‘n’ roll
That’s what we were, play it guitar…
Well, Elvis started shakin’
And the whole world shook a little too
I remember that…
I said, Elvis started shakin’
And the whole world shook a little bit too
He said, that’s all right, mama
Yeah, rockabilly fever
Looks like it’s coming back again
Won’t it be fun…
Yeah, rockabilly fever
Look out, it might get you, my friend
If that fever starts to get you
Lay back son, you just might explode
If that fever starts to get you
Lay back son, you just might explode
Well, they called it rockabilly
Long before they called it rock ‘n’ roll, yeah
Come on, let’s rock
Come on, let’s roll
Everybody, let’s rock
Everybody, let’s rock
Yeah, we called it rockabilly
Long before they called it rock ‘n’ roll
Don’t you forget…
