Baby Won't You Let Me Rock 'n' Roll You Lyrics


Baby, won't you let me rock 'n' roll you
Baby, won't you let me, let me stroll you
Baby, won't you let me rock 'n' roll you nowBaby, won't you let me, let me shake you
Baby, won't you let me, let me break you
Baby, won't you let me really take you nowWell, you remember, baby, how it used to be
I used to rock 'n' roll you around my knee
Well, I tell you, honey, gonna be alright
Gonna rock 'n' roll you all through the nightBaby, won't you let me, let me shake you
Baby, won't you let me, let me break you
Baby, won't you let me really take you nowI tell you, baby, gonna be alright
I'm gonna rock you all through the night
Well, you [Incomprehensible] how it's gonna be
[Incomprehensible]Baby, won't you let me sock it to you
Baby, won't you let me sock it to you
Baby, won't you let me rock 'n' roll you now

Originally from Nottingham in the UK, this band of virtuoso musicians under the leadership of Alvin Lee conquered the UK scene and then spread their wings to the USA. Their blend of jazz, blues and rock was initially slightly awkward but their first album provided an opening for them. In October, their 1967 self-titled debut album was released.

In 1968, after touring Scandinavia and the United States, Ten Years After released their second album, live Undead, which brought their first classic, "I'm Going Home." This was followed in February 1969 by studio issue, Stonedhenge, a British hit, that included another classic, "Hear Me Calling" (it was released also as a single, and covered in 1972 by British glam rock rising stars, Slade). In July 1969 they appeared at the Newport Jazz Festival, in the first event to which rock bands were invited. In August, the band performed a breakthrough American appearance at Woodstock; their furious-to-soft-to-furious rendition of "I'm Going Home" featuring Alvin Lee as the lead singer was featured in both the subsequent film and soundtrack album and catapulted them to star status.

During 1970, Ten Years After released "Love Like a Man", their only hit in the UK Singles Chart. This song was on their fifth album, Cricklewood Green. The name of the album comes from a friend of the group who lived in Cricklewood, London. He grew a sort of plant which was said to have hallucinogenic effects. The band did not know the name of this plant, so they called their album Cricklewood Green. It was the first record to be issued with a different playing speed on each side – one a three-minute edit at 45rpm, the other, a nine-minute live version at 33rpm. In August, Ten Years After played the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 to an audience of 600,000.
In 1971, the band released the album A Space in Time which marked a move toward more commercial material. It featured their biggest hit, "I'd Love To Change The World". But a few albums later, the band broke up after the 1974 album Positive Vibrations. They re-united in 1983 to play the Reading Festival and this performance was later released on CD as The Friday Rock Show Sessions - Live At Reading '83. In 1988, they re-united for a few concerts and recorded the album About Time (1989). Finally, in 1994, they participated in the Eurowoodstock festival in Budapest.

Alvin Lee has since then mostly played and recorded under his own name. In 2003, the other band members replaced him with Joe Gooch and recorded the album Now. Material from the following tour was used for the 2005 double album Roadworks.

Band members:
Alvin Lee – guitar, vocals
