Rock And Cry:Clyde McPhatter.
#97 on Hot 100 on ATLANTIC Records in 1957.

Doodle-oop-doodle-oop-doodle-oop-ooo-ooo-ooo..
Doodle-oop-doodle-oop-doodle-oop-ooo-ooo-ooo..
#1.
I read a story the other day, guaranteed to tell
you how to shoo your blues away.
You gather up your troubles and all your bad news..
then you go and get yourself a pair of dancing shoes.
CHORUS:
Then you rock (rock, rock)..yes, rock and cry..
rock, rock..rock and cry.
Go on and rock, rock, rock and cry..and you won t be
crying long.
#2.
Just plant a smile across your face..keep spreading joy
all over the place.
You ll find it s catching..getting rid of the blues..
when others get a look at them dancing shoes.
CHORUS:
Now, you rock (rock, rock)..yes, rock and cry..
rock, rock..rock and cry.
Go on and rock, rock, rock and cry..and you won t be
crying long.
(INTERLUDE:) ..
...............
(Rock, rock..rock and cry..rock and cry.)
#3.
Start running wild..dance all night.
Go right ahead on and do the town up right.
Don t drown your troubles in those mean old blues..
plant em in the soles of those dancing shoes.
CHORUS:
Now, you rock (rock, rock)..yes, rock and cry..
rock, rock..rock and cry.
Go on and rock, rock, rock and cry..and you won t be
crying long.
OUTRO:
No, you won t be crying long..and you won t be
crying loooooong.
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
