The lovin spoonful let the boy rock and roll lyrics

I heard Mama and Papa talkin' last night

 And I heard Mama say to Papa: Let that boy rock and roll

 

 The neighbor not complainin' and the schoolboy talked twice today

 You know they think you're foolish, study or slippin' away

 He don't think about nothin' 'cept the rock and roll records that play

 I say it's all right, Pa, let the boy rock and roll

 He's got a mind of his own and you know he's got a musical soul

 And he's gotta play music and you know we really can't say no

 

 So Daddy, don't you worry 'bout this crazy man

 Go on and do what you think you should

 But Daddy, don't you call him Little Boy Bad

 When you know he could be Johnny B Good

 I say it's all right, Pa, let the boy sing his song

 In his brand new boots, he needs a foot from a kick in the town

 If his music is groovy, you know he really can't go wrong

 

 (instrumental)

 

 So Daddy, don't you worry 'bout this crazy man

 Go on and do what you think you should

 But please don't call him Little Boy Bad

 When you know he could be Johnny B Good

 I say it's all right, Pa, let the boy rock and roll

 He's got a mind of his own and you know he's got a musical soul

 If the music is groovy, you know we really can't say no
