Neil Sedaka - You Gotta Learn Your Rhythm And Blues lyrics

The board of education from Maine to Tenessee
Just don't dig that crazy ABC
You know they teach us
Something different and they call it R & B

You gotta learn your rythm and blues
Everybody's shoutin' the news
Go out and buy a pair of rock and roll shoes
Or brother you're gonna lose
The time is incidental
The fun is fundemental
When you learn your rythm and blues
No more readin' and writin' and 'rythmetic
You got to know the three R's when
The teacher swings the hickory stick
Start a reelin' and a-rockin' and
A-rollin' with your chick

You gotta learn your rythm and blues
Everybody's shoutin' the news
Go out and buy a pair of rock and roll shoes
Or brother you're gonna lose
The time is incidental
The fun is fundemental
When you learn your rythm and blues

When the teacher gives us
Homework everyone shouts hooray, hooray
I got to go right home
And study without delay
I got to tune into Bandstand and
Get the lesson for today

You gotta learn your rythm and blues
Everybody's shoutin' the news
Go out and buy a pair of rock and roll shoes
Or brother you're gonna lose
The time is incidental
The fun is fundemental
When you learn your rythm and blues

You gotta learn your rythm and blues
Everybody's shoutin' the news
Go out and buy a pair of rock and roll shoes
Or brother you're gonna lose
The time is incidental
The fun is fundemental
When you learn your rythm and blues
