My Mama doesn't like it, the way I comb my hair
Papa thinks I'm crazy, in the clothes I wear
It's a hit come on records and I play it all day
But I'm what I am and I'm gonna keep a rockin' that way

I'm a rockabilly rebel from head to toe
I gotta keep a-rockin' everywhere I go
Everybody join us, we're good company
Be a real cool cat, be a rockabilly rebel like me

The kids in the schoolhouse they couldn't wait too long
When the school is over, they put their cat clothes on
Oughta hear the slap bass swingin' to the band
It is a real rockin' rhythm that is sweepin' all over this land

I'm a rockabilly rebel from head to toe
I gotta keep a-rockin' everywhere I go
Everybody join us, we're good company
Be a real cool cat, be a rockabilly rebel like me

Squares get the message get the boppin' beat
Let them tramp through your body, to the head to your feet
Shakin' in your shoes, boy, oh, don't it make you feel wow
Well if you can't dance, we're not gonna show you how

I'm a rockabilly rebel from head to toe
I gotta keep a-rockin' everywhere I go
Everybody join us, we're good company
Be a real cool cat, be a rockabilly rebel like me
