Taken from the record RASPBERRIES recorded at record plant, new york.
Dave Smalley about the song: At that time (1972) the band was gigging around locally and we had a house where we all lived. For a period of time Wally and I and Eric occasionally would drag a bunch of girls home. A gig didn't go by where it wasn't crawling with women. "Rock and Roll Mama" was written about girls who'd come to gigs and party with the band in hopes of a possible romantic scenario. It was a different time back then, we were all single and we all loved women.

Rock & Roll Mama
(David Smalley)

Rock and roll mama
Gets her kicks at the hop every Friday night
They know when she walks out the door
She ain't comin' home all night

Rock and roll mama
Wanna take you home with me
Put down my guitar
Just long enough to make you see

I'm gonna hold you like a lover should
Yeah! Rock and roll mama
Make you feel so good
All right! All right!

Rock and roll mama

She's got the kind of walk
Drives you crazy when she passes by
You know she's gonna burn you
But there's nothing gonna stop you from trying

Rock and roll mama
Wanna take you home with me
I'm gonna put down my guitar
Just long enough to make you see

Rock and roll mama make you feel all right
Yeah! Come on, sugar
Can you stay all night?
All night! All night!

Rock and roll mama

I'm gonna hold you like a lover should
Yeah! Rock and roll mama
Make you feel so good
All right! All right!

Rock and roll mama

She's got the kind of walk
Drives you crazy when she passes by
You know she's gonna burn you
But there's nothing gonna stop you from trying

Rock and roll mama
Wanna take you home with me
I'm gonna put down my guitar
Just long enough to make you see

Rock and roll mama make you feet all right
Yeah! Come on sugar, call
Can you stay all night?
All night! All night!

Rock and roll mama

Come on, sugar, shake those hips
You got to drive me wild
Gonna watch you rock and roll
Till the sun comes up at half past five

Rock and roll mama

Wanna take you home
'Cause now I know that there's nothing
Like a rock and roll mama
Make me lose control

Rock and roll mama
Make you feel all right
Yeah! Come on sugar
Can you stay all night?
All night! All night!

All night! Rock and roll mama
