New York, New York, is everything they say
|
And no place that I'd rather be
|
Where else can you do a half a million things
|
All at a quarter to three
|
When they play their music, ooh that modern music
|
They like it with a lot of style
|
But t's still that same old back beat rhythm
|
That really really drives 'em wild
|
|
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
|
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
|
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
|
But the heart of rock and roll, HEART OF ROCK AND ROLL is still beating
|
|
LA, Hollywood, and the Sunset Strip
|
Is something everyone should see
|
Neon signs and the pretty pretty girls
|
All dressed so scantily
|
When they play their music
|
That hard rock music
|
They like it with a lot of flash
|
But it's still that same old back beat rhythm
|
That really kicks 'em in the
|
|
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
|
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
|
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
|
But the heart of rock and roll, the heart o' rock n' roll is still beating
|
|
(johnny!!!...oh!)
|
|
DC, San Antone and the Liberty Town, Boston and Baton Rouge
|
Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City, Seattle, San Francisco, too
|
Everywhere there's music, real live music, bands with a million styles
|
But It's still that some old rock and roll music
|
that really REALLY drives 'em wild
|
|
T-T-T-T-They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
|
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
|
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
|
But the heart of rock and roll, HEART OF ROCK AND ROLL is still beating
|
|
In Cleveland
|
Detroit
|
|
Heart of rock and roll...
