Jenny said when she was just 5 years old,
There was nothing happening at all.
Every time she puts on the radio,
There was nothing goin' down at all - not at all.
Then one fine morning she puts on a New York station,
You know she don't believe what she heard at all.
She started shakin' to that fine, fine music,
You know her life was saved by rock and roll.

Despite all the amputation,
You know you could just go out and dance to the rock and roll station.
It was alright (it was alright)
Hey baby, you know it was alright (it was alright)

Jenny said when she was just 'bout 5 years old,
You know my parents are gonna be the death of us all.
Two TV sets and two Cadillac cars,
Well you know they ain't gonna help me at all (not even just a tiny bit)
Then one fine morning she turns on a New York station,
She doesn't believe what she hears at all.
Ohhhh she started dancin' to that fine, fine music,
You know her life was saved by rock and roll - yeah, rock and roll.

Despite all the computation,
You could just change it to that rock and roll station.
And baby, it was alright (it was alright)
Hey, it was all-right (it was alright)
Hey, here she comes now!

Now Jenny said when she was just 'bout 5 years old,
Hey you know, there's nothing happening at all - not at all.
Everytime I put on the radio,
You know there's nothing goin' down at all - not at all.
But one fine morning, she hears a New York station,
She doesn't believe what she heard at all - hey, not at all.
She started dancin' to that fine, fine music,
You know her life was saved by rock and roll - yes, rock and roll.

Oh, despite all the computation,
You know you could just dance to a rock and roll station.
...Alright, alright, and it was alright...are you listenin' to me now?

And it was alright, come on now, live it
It was alright, it was alright
And it was alright...

Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby...
