[Verse 1]
Mama says yes, Papa says no
Make up you mind cause I gotta go
I'm gonna raise hell at the Union Hall
Drive myself right over the wall

[Chorus]
Roll this joint, going to get down low
Start my starter, going to stop the show
Roll this joint, going to get down low
Round and round and round we go
Oh, yeah!

[Verse 2]
Right back, be right back
[?]
Flip Flop, fit to drop
Come on baby, won't you let it rock?

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]
San Jose down to Santa Fe
Kiss me quick, baby, won'tcha make my day
Down to New Orleans with the Dixie Dean
Across to Dallas, Texas with the Butter Queen
Rip this joint, gonna rip yours too
Some brand new steps and some weight to lose
Gonna roll this joint, gonna get down low
Round and round and round we'll go

[Verse 2]
Right back, be right back
[?]
Flip Flop, fit to drop
Come on baby, won't you let it rock?

[Instrumental Outro]

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
