There  was an old woman that lived in a shoe,
 had so many children, she didn't know what to do.
 They were doin'  all right, till she took 'em to town,
 the kids  started pickin' 'em up and puttin' 'em down.
 Now, all  your children wanna rock, Mama..
All  your children want to roll.
They  wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop  till they pop..
All  your children wants to rock.
 Rock now, go!
Well,  we're not tryin' to live too fast..
 And we might as well try to live in class.
 We better  move out before the rent comes due,
 cause we  wanna live in a blue suede shoe.
 Now, all  your children wanna rock, Mama..
All  your children want to roll.
They  wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop  till they pop..
All  your children wants to rock.
 Rock now, go!
Well,  every night when it's quiet and still..
 You can hear it echoing through the hill.
 From a blue  suede shoe on a mountain top..
all  of mama's young 'uns are doin' the bop.
 Now, all  your children wanna rock, Mama..
All  your children want to roll.
They  wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop  till they pop..
All  your children wants to rock.
 Rock now, go!
 Now, all  your children wanna rock, Mama..
All  your children want to roll.
They  wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop  till they pop..
All  your children wants to rock.
 A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
