Rock And Cry:Clyde McPhatter. #97 on Hot 100 on ATLANTIC Records in 1957. Doodle-oop-doodle-oop-doodle-oop-ooo-ooo-ooo.. Doodle-oop-doodle-oop-doodle-oop-ooo-ooo-ooo.. #1. I read a story the other day, guaranteed to tell you how to shoo your blues away. You gather up your troubles and all your bad news.. then you go and get yourself a pair of dancing shoes. Then you rock (rock, rock)..yes, rock and cry.. rock, rock..rock and cry. Go on and rock, rock, rock and cry..and you won't be crying long. #2. Just plant a smile across your face..keep spreading joy all over the place. You'll find it's catching..getting rid of the blues.. when others get a look at them dancing shoes. Now, you rock (rock, rock)..yes, rock and cry.. rock, rock..rock and cry. Go on and rock, rock, rock and cry..and you won't be crying long. (INTERLUDE:) .. ............... (Rock, rock..rock and cry..rock and cry.) #3. Start running wild..dance all night. Go right ahead on and do the town up right. Don't drown your troubles in those mean old blues.. plant 'em in the soles of those dancing shoes. Now, you rock (rock, rock)..yes, rock and cry.. rock, rock..rock and cry. Go on and rock, rock, rock and cry..and you won't be crying long. No, you won't be crying long..and you won't be crying loooooong. A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
