She was just sixteen and all alone
When I came to be
So we grew up together
My mama child and me
Now things were bad and she was scared
But whenever I would cry
She'd calm my fears and dry my tears
With a rock and roll lullaby
And she would sing
Sha na na na na na na na na na na it will be all right
Sha na na na na na na na na na na now just hold on tight
{Sing it to me mama} (mama mama ma)
Sha na na na na na na na na na na it will be all right
Sing it swe et and clear, oh! Mama let me hear that old rock and roll lullaby
(Sha na na na na na na na na na na )
We made it through the lonely days
But Lord the nights were long
And we?d dream of better moments
When mama sang her song
Now I can't recall the words at all
It don't make sense to try
'Cause I just knew lots of love came thru
In that rock and roll lullaby
And she would sing
Sha na na na na na na na na na na it will be all right
Sha na na na na na na na na na na now just hold on tight
{Sing it to me mama} (mama mama ma)
Sha na na na na na na na na na na it will be all right
Sing it swe et and clear, oh! Mama let me hear that old rock and roll lullaby
Uuuuuuuhhhhhh
