I Love Rock 'n Roll
Dancing through Time: The Irresistible Allure of Rock 'n Roll Love
Lyrics
I saw him dancing there by the record machine
Noticing a guy dancing near the record player
I knew he must have been about 17
Estimating his age to be around 17
The beat was going strong, playing my favorite song
Enjoying the strong rhythm of the music playing a favorite song
And I could tell it wouldn't be long till he was with me
Anticipating that it wouldn't be long until he'd be interested in being with the singer
Yeah with me
Emphasizing the singer's anticipation of being together
And I could tell it wouldn't be long till he was with me
Reiterating the anticipation of being together
Yeah with me
Reinforcing the idea of being together
Singin' I love rock and roll
Expressing love for rock and roll music
So put another dime in the jukebox baby
Asking to play more music by adding a coin to the jukebox
I love rock and roll
Reaffirming the love for rock and roll
So come on take some time and dance with me
Inviting the person to spend time dancing together
*OWWW*
Exclamation, possibly expressing excitement or energy
He smiled so I got up and asked for his name
Responding to the guy's smile by approaching and asking his name
but that don't matter he said cuz it's all the same
Guy's response suggesting names don't matter, implying a carefree attitude
I said can I take ya home, where we can be alone
Proposing to take the guy home for privacy
And next we're moving on and he was with me
Indicating the progression of events where they move together
Yeah me
Reiterating the singer's involvement in the progression
And next we're moving on and he was with me
Reinforcing the singer's involvement in the progression
Yeah me
Reaffirming the singer's involvement in the progression
Singin' I love rock and roll
Repeatedly expressing love for rock and roll music
So put another dime in the jukebox baby
Requesting to play more rock and roll music
I love rock and roll
Reaffirming the love for rock and roll
So come on take some time and dance with me
Inviting the person to dance together again
I said can I take ya home where we can be alone
Repeating the proposal for privacy at home
Next we're moving on and he was with me
Describing the continuation of their journey together
Yeah me
Reiterating the singer's involvement in the journey
and we'll be moving on and singing that same old song
Anticipating their continued journey while singing the same song
Yeah with me
Emphasizing the idea of being together and singing
Singin' I love rock and roll
Repeatedly expressing love for rock and roll music
So put another dime in the jukebox baby
Asking again to play more rock and roll music
I love rock and roll
Reaffirming the love for rock and roll
So come on take some time and dance with me
Inviting the person again to dance together
