Lyrics

[00:12.549] Well, it started out way down south
[00:16.450] Took a left and headed on out
[00:20.596] It was movin' along very slowly
[00:24.945] 'Cause it was travelin' by word of mouth
[00:28.582] Made a short stop in New Orleans
[00:32.869] Then it headed for the New York scene
[00:36.813] And the people there, they dug on air
[00:41.352] 'Cause they found out just what it means, yeah to have...
[00:45.826]
[00:46.074] Rock and roll music, sweet groovy music
[00:53.703] Well, it's the only kind of music
[00:57.198] That reaches right to your soul
[01:04.498]
[01:08.127] Here come a guitar-pickin' fella
[01:11.542] And he took them by the hand
[01:15.505] He said "Now, listen to me, everybody
[01:19.579] I got a message that you gotta understand"
[01:23.742] And then he took that brand-new music
[01:27.760] And he let it cross the U.S. of A
[01:31.556] And now some folks laughed when they heard that sound
[01:35.925] But it looks like it's here to stay, and they call it rock
[01:41.339]
[01:41.639] Rock and roll music, sweet groovy music
[01:48.088] Well, it's the only kind of music
[01:51.989] That reaches right to your soul
[01:58.124]
[01:58.799] Rock and roll music
[02:02.514] Rock and roll music
[02:06.480] Rock and roll music
[02:09.648] Talkin' 'bout rock and roll, I like rock and roll, yeah
[02:16.221] Long live rock and roll, yeah, talkin' 'bout rock and roll
[02:23.929] Rock and roll, sweet groovy music
