Rock On Lyrics
… Hey, did you rock 'n' roll?
Rock on
Ooh, my soul
Hey, did you boogie too, did ya?
… Hey, shout, summertime blues
Jump up (up, down) and down in my blue suede shoes
Hey, did you rock 'n' roll?
Rock on
… And where do we go from here?
Which is a way that's clear?
Still looking for that blue-jean baby-queen
Prettiest girl I've ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen
Jimmy Dean
(James Dean)
… And where do we go from here?
Which is the way that's clear?
Still looking for that blue-jean baby-queen
Prettiest girl I ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen
Jimmy Dean
Jimmy Dean
… Rock on
Rock on
(Rock on) hey, did you rock 'n' roll?
Rock on
(Rock on) hey, did you rock 'n' roll?
Rock on
… hey, did you rock 'n' roll?
Rock on
(Rock on) hey, did you rock 'n' roll?
Rock on
(Rock on) hey, did you rock 'n' roll?
Rock on
… hey, did you rock 'n' roll?
Rock on
(Rock on) hey, did you rock 'n' roll?
Rock on
(Rock on) hey, did you rock 'n' roll?
Rock on

Essex’s early life was marked by hardship; his family experienced destitution, and he grew up in Canning Town after moving from an overcrowded home in Plaistow. His interest in music began early, and he played drums with a local band before transitioning to singing.
“Rock On” was a defining hit for Essex, capturing the spirit of rock and roll rebellion. The song, which he wrote, sold over one million copies and earned a gold disc from the R.I.A.A. in March 1974. It’s characterized by its distinctive bass line and Essex’s spoken word vocals, evoking the image of a “blue jean baby queen” and the iconic James Dean.
