The boy could play before he learned to crawl
Worked in a band who had no name at all
Every mornin' at the break of dawn
You could see him draggin' home his drums I was vaccinated with a Victrolla needle
And I'm hooked on rock and roll They called the family doctor to see what he could do
Doc said "No you can't cure his soul
Once he's infected with the blues"
So I travelled 'round from town to town singin' out the news I was vaccinated with a Victrolla needle
And I'm hooked on rock and roll When you find you got no mind
To work from nine to five
Find the back beat, set your heart free
And feel that music runnin' through your feet Mama told me long ago
"Ain't no future in that rock 'n' roll"
And I said "Hey mama, it's burnin' hot inside my soul" It's like a fever that won't cool down
I've been addicted since I heard that sound I was vaccinated with a Victrolla needle
And I'm hooked on rock and roll When you find you got no mind (bop shoo bop, bop bop shoo bop)
To work from nine to five
Find the back beat, set your heart free
(Bop shoo bop, bop bop shoo bop)
And feel the music runnin' through your feet Mama told me long ago
"Ain't no future in that rock 'n' roll"
And I said "Hey mama, it's burnin' hot inside me soul" It's like a fever that won't cool down
I've been addicted since I heard that sound I was vaccinated with a Victrolla needle
And I'm hooked on rock and roll, yeah
Hooked on rock and roll

Hooked on rock and roll
Hooked on rock and roll
(It's like a fever that won't cool down)
Hooked on rock and roll, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hooked on rock and roll
(It's burnin, burnin, burnin in my soul)
Hooked on rock and roll
Hooked on rock and roll
(I've been addicted since I heard that sound)
Hooked on rock and roll
Hooked on rock and roll
Hooked on rock and roll
