In the beginning |
|
Back in nineteen fifty-five |
|
Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show |
|
And all that jive |
|
The white man had the smoltz |
|
The black man had the blues |
|
No one knew what they was gonna do |
|
But Tchaikovsky had the news |
|
He said -Let there be soundthere was sound |
|
Let there be lightthere was light |
|
Let there be drumsthere was drums |
|
Let there be guitarthere was guitar |
|
Oh,Let there be rock |
|
And it came to pass |
|
That rock 'n' roll was born |
|
All across the land every rockin' band |
|
Was blowing up a storm |
|
And the guitarman got famous |
|
The businessman got rich |
|
And in every bar there was a super star |
|
With a seven year itch |
|
There were fifteen million fingers |
|
Learning how to play |
|
And you could hear the fingers picking |
|
And this is what they had to say |
|
Let there be light |
|
SoundDrums |
|
GuitarLet there be rock |
|
One night in a club called "The Shaking Hand" |
|
There was a ninety-two decibel rocking band |
|
And the music was good and the music was loud |
|
And the singer turned and he said to the crowd - |
|
Let there be rock |
