SPOKEN:
|
In the beginning, there weren't nothin' but rocks.
|
Then somebody invented the wheel--
|
And things just started in to roll!
|
|
SUNG:
|
Did you ever hear a tenor sax
|
Swingin' like a rusty axe?
|
Honkin' like a frog
|
Down in a hollow log?
|
Well, baby, that is rock and roll.
|
|
Did you ever hear a guitar twang,
|
Dingy, dingy, dingy, dang?
|
Ever hear those strings
|
Doin' crazy things?
|
Well, baby, that is rock and roll.
|
|
That ain't no freight train that you hear,
|
Rollin' down the railroad tracks--
|
That's a country boy piano man
|
Playin' in between the cracks.
|
|
You say that music's for the birds,
|
And you can't understand the words?
|
Well, honey, if you did,
|
You'd really blow your lid,
|
'Cause, baby, that is rock and roll.

'Cause, baby, that is rock and roll. (In the mornin')
|
Baby, that is rock and roll. (In the evenin')
|
Baby, that is rock and roll.
