Number two on the survey, Giselle MacKenzie tells a warm story to her cool friends as she sings the rock and roll waltz. One night I was late, came home from a day, slipped out of my shoes at the door. Then from the front room I heard a jump, too. I looked in and here's what I saw. There in the night, what a wonderful scene, Mom was dancing with Dad to my record machine. Then as they danced, only one thing was wrong. They were trying to waltz to a rock and roll song. One, two, and then rock. One, two, and then roll. It was the rock and roll waltz. Rock, two, three, roll, two, three. It looked so cute to me. I love the rock and roll waltz. One, two, and then rock. One, two, and then roll. One, two, and then jump. It's good for your soul. It's old, but it's new. Let's do the rock and roll waltz. One, two, and then rock. 1, 2, and then roll. 1, 2, and then jump.
