The Rubettes
The Rubettes were an English pop band assembled in 1973 by the songwriting team of Wayne Bickerton, then the head of A&R; at Polydor Records, and his co-songwriter, Tony Waddington, after their doo-wop and 1950s American pop-influenced songs had been rejected by a number of existing acts. The band duly emerged at the tail end of the glam rock movement, wearing trademark white suits and cloth caps on stage. Their first release, “Sugar Baby Love” was an instant hit remaining at number one in the United Kingdom for four weeks in May 1974, while reaching number 37 on the U.S. chart that August, and remains their best-known record. Subsequent releases would be less successful, but the band continued to tour on the nostalgia circuit well into the 2000s. The Rubettes’ first and biggest hit was “Sugar Baby Love” (1974) which was a number one in the United Kingdom, going on to sell around 500,000 copies in the UK and three million copies globally.

I can really rock, I can do it, I can do it
Ah-thinkin’ ’bout guitars when I was just a kid
Just lookin’ back on the things we did
Like hangin’ round at the local hop
With my candy and my soda pop.
I guess I never really stood a chance
I liked the music but I couldn’t dance
I guess I’ve really learnt a lot since then
‘Cause I can really do it now it’s back again.
Yeah I can do it, I can do it I can really move
From my head right down to my blue suede shoes
I can really make the groove
I can do it, I can do it, I can really move.
I can really rock, ooh I can do it
I can really rock, ooh I can do it

I can really rock, ooh I can do it
I can really rock, ooh I can do it
I can really move it now.
Dancin’ was trouble thinkin’ ’bout it now
I had no girl friend to show me how
I was too young to date too old to wait.
It’s kinda sad I was born too late.
But like I said I learnt a lot since then
And I can really do it now it’s back again
I can do the jive, I can do the stroll
It’s just another name for rock ‘n’ roll.
Yeah I can do it, I can do it, I can really move
From my head right down to my blue suede shoes
I can really make the groove
I can do it, I can do it, I can really move.
Yeah I can do it, yeah I can do it,

Yeah I can do it, I can do it, I can really move
From my head right down to my blue suede shoes

From my head right down to my blue suede shoes
I can really make the groove
I can do it, I can do it, I can really move.
