MY OWN WAY TO ROCK - Burton Cummings
Revving up my engine
Like a 747, mama, shiny lanky long and lean
And I'm mean
Revving up my engine baby
Like a 747, lover, shiny lanky long and lean
What a scene
I'm going to take my silver dollar
Change it into quarters, shove 'em in the record machine
Uh uh huh!
Baby said she loved me
Then she went and left me, causing such an awful scene
What a scene
Baby said she needed me, you know
But then she went and left me, causing such an awful sce-ee-ene
What a scee-ee-ee-ene, yeah-ee-yeah
Take my silver dollar
Change it into quarters, shove 'em in the record machine
Yes!
'Cause I got my own way to rock
I got my own way to roll
And when you're walking that walk
It's good for your soul
You know I'm singing about
My own way to rock
I got my own way to roll
And when you're walking that walk
It's good for your soul

Revving up my engine baby
Like a 747, lover, shiny lanky long and lean
What a scene, hey!
Revving up my engine baby
Like a 747, lover, shiny lanky long and lea-ea-ean
What a sce-ee-ene, yeah-ee-yeah
Take my silver dollar
Change it into quarters, gonna shove 'em in the record machine
Uh huh!
'Cause I got my own way to rock
I got my own way to roll
And when you're walking that walk
It's good for your soul
Hear me lawdy mama
Got my own way to rock
I got my own way to roll
And when you're walking that walk
It's good for your soul
Be bop a-lula baby!
Wake up little Susie
Yes it's me, and I'm in love again
Come on over, got a whole lot of shaking
Well I like it like that, yeah!
