Rockabilly Fever Lyrics - Wanda Jackson

ROCKABILLY FEVER 

Writer Carl Perkins 

Lord, it came rollin' out of Memphis 

Like a hurricane or Texas tornado 

It came rollin' out of Memphis 

Like a hurricane or a Texas tornado 

Yeah, it did... 

And they called us rockabillies 

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 they called us rockabillies 

Long before they called it rock 'n' roll 

Yeah, rockabilly fever 

Looks like it's coming back again, mm-mm 

Ah, rockabilly fever 

Look out, it might get you my friend 

If that fever starts to get you 

Lay back son, you just might explode 

If that fever starts to get you 

Lay back son, you just might explode 

Look out... 

And they called us rockabillies 

Long before they called it rock 'n' roll 

That's what we were, play it guitar, here we go... 

Well, Elvis started shakin' 

And the whole world shook a little too 

I said Elvis started shakin' 

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 

That's what the boy said... 

Oh, rockabilly fever 

Looks like it's coming back again 

Won't it be fun.. 

Rockabilly fever 

Look out, it might get you my friend 

If that fever starts to get you 

Just lay back son, you just might explode 

If that fever starts to get you 

Just lay back son, you just might explode 

Well, they called it rockabilly 

Long before they called it rock 'n' roll, oh yeah 

Come on let's rock 

Come on let's roll 

Everybody let's rock 

Everybody let's rock
