All Mama's Children (with John Fogerty)

(With John Fogerty)

There was an old woman
That lived in a shoe
She had so many children
She didn't know what to do
They were doing all right
Till she took them to town
The kids started picking them up
And putting them down

All your children wanna rock, mama
All your children want to roll
They wanna roll, wanna rock
Wanna bop till they pop
All your children want to rock

We're not trying
To live too fast
We might as well
Try to live in class
We better move out
Before the rent comes due
Cause we wanna live
In a blue suede shoe

All your children want to rock, mama
All your children want to rock
We wanna roll, wanna rock
Wanna bop till they pop
All your children want to rock

Well, every night
When it's quiet and still
You can hear it echoing
Through the hill
To a blue suede shoe
On a mountain top
All of mama's children
Are doing the bop

All your children want to rock, mama
All your children want to roll
They wanna roll, wanna rock
Wanna bop till they pop
All your children want to rock

Well, all your children want to rock, mama
All your children want to roll
They wanna roll, wanna rock
Wanna bop till they pop
All your children want to rock
