It started out with Haley's Comets
|
A-rockin' round the clock
|
Well, then along came Presley
|
With some hillbilly rock,
|
Mix it in with Carl Perkins
|
Chuck Berry when he's workin'
|
And Little Richard out of Macon
|
Inspired Jerry Lee to shakin'
|
Slow down the tempo with the Fat Domino
|
Bring back the rhythm with Bo's band
|
Don and Phil and Eddie Cochran
|
And Buddy Holly kept a-rockin'
|
|
And that's the story of the rockers
|
Yeah, who kept us dancin'
|
Everybody was movin'
|
And it looked so fine
|
You feel the emotion
|
As you looked around
|
Sock it to me rockers
|
Roll it down the line
|
|
Jump back down to to Philly
|
For a daily Bandstand Rock
|
At The Hop with Danny's Juniors
|
The Stroll was very hot now
|
Rydell, Cannon and Dion sang
|
While Eddy's Rebels twanged on
|
Soon the world a-started twistin'
|
With the Checker dance
|
The Four Seasons sang Sherry
|
While Barry Gordy shopped the Champs
|
Ike and Tina and a-Uncle Ray
|
Along with Shannon's Runaway
|
|
And that's the story of the rockers
|
Yeah, who kept us dancin'
|
Everybody was movin'
|
And it looked so fine
|
You feel the emotion
|
As you looked around
|
Sock it to me rockers
|
Roll it down the line
|
|
The West Coast started surfin'
|
With the Beach Boy band
|
Jan and Dean and the Surfaris
|
Spread the songs throughout the land
|
And soon the Beatles from a-Liverpool
|
Electrified, began to rule
|
Roll out the Stones with Satisfaction
|
Mix in a bit of blues reaction
|
Byrds and Spoonful got in motion
|
With a very good time notion
|
Otis Redding and Revue
|
Young Rascals attitude
|
|
And that's the story of the rockers
|
Yeah, who kept us dancin'
|
Everybody was movin'
|
And it looked so fine
|
You feel the emotion
|
As you looked around
|
Sock it to me rockers
|
Roll it down the line
|
