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
|
And all at a quarter to three
|
When they play their music
|
Ooh, that modern music
|
The like it with a lot of style
|
But it's still that same old back beat rhythm
|
That really, really drives them 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
|
Heart of roll is still beating
|
|
LA, Hollywood and the Sunset Strip
|
Is something everyone should see
|
Neon lights and the pretty, pretty girls
|
All dressed so scantily
|
When they play their music
|
That hard rockin' music
|
They like it with a lot of flash
|
But it's still that same old back beat rhythm
|
That really, 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
|
Heart of rock and roll is still beating
|

|
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 same old rock and roll music
|
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, yeah
|
|
In Cleveland
|
Detroit
|
Heart of rock and roll
|
Toronto, Montreal
