Lyrics:

Well, if it's country music or rock 'n' roll
Modern jazz or somethin' from the soul
I like the rhythm of the 12 bar blues
Yes, I like my music to the rhythm of the 12 bar blues

If you're sittin' at home or ridin' in my car
Watchin' Jerry Lee or drinkin' in a bar
I like the rhythm of the 12 bar blues
Yes, I like my music to the rhythm of the 12 bar blues

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12

If you're sittin' at home or ridin' in my car
Watchin' Jerry Lee or drinkin' in a bar
I like the rhythm of the 12 bar blues
Yes, I like the music and the rhythm of the 12 bar blues

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12
Ah!

Well, if it's country music or rock 'n' roll
Modern jazz or somethin' from the soul
I like the rhythm of the 12 bar blues
Yes, I like the music and the rhythm of the 12 bar blues
