Well, it came rolling out of Memphis
Like a hurricane or a Texas tornado
Yeah, it came rolling out of Memphis
Like a hurricane or a Texas tornado
And we called it rockabilly
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 it rockabilly
Long before they called it rock 'n' roll
Rockabilly fever looks like it's coming back again
Rockabilly fever, look out, it might get you, my friend
Now if that fever starts to get you
Lay back, son, you just might explode
Yeah, if that fever starts to get you
Lay back, son, you just might explode
Well we called it rockabilly
Long before they called it rock 'n' roll
Well, Elvis started shaking
And the whole world shook a little too
Yeah, I said Elvis started shaking
And the whole world shook a little bit too
He said, "That's all right, mama
Mama, don't you step on my blue suede shoes"
Rockabilly fever looks like it's coming back again
Rockabilly fever, look out, it might get you, my friend
Now if that fever starts to get you
Lay back, son, you just might explode
Yeah, if that fever starts to get you
Lay back, son, you just might explode
Well we called it rockabilly
Long before they called it rock 'n' roll
Come on, let's rock
Come on, let's roll
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody, let's roll
Yeah, we called it rockabilly
Long before they called it rock 'n' roll
Don't you forget it
