Well, it started out way down south
|
Took a left and headed on out
|
It was movin' along very slowly
|
'Cause it was travelin' by word of mouth
|
Made a short stop in New Orleans
|
Then it headed for the New York scene
|
and the people there, they dug on air
|
'Cause they found out just what it means, yeah to have...
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Rock and roll music, sweet groovy music
|
Well, it's the only kind of music
|
That reaches right to your soul
|
|
Here come a guitar-pickin' fella
|
And he took them by the hand
|
He said "Now, listen to me, everybody
|
I got a message that you gotta understand"
|
And then he took that brand-new music
|
And he let it cross the U.S. of A.
|
And now some folks laughed when they heard that sound
|
But it looks like it's here to stay, and they call it rock
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
Rock and roll music
|
Rock and roll music
|
Rock and roll music
|
Talkin' 'bout rock and roll, I like rock and roll, yeah
|
Long live rock and roll, yeah, talkin' 'bout rock and roll
|
Rock and roll, sweet groovy music
|
|
[...and fade]
