Lyrics
That Is Rock And Roll
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the beginning there was nothing but rock
Then somebody invented the wheel
And things just began to roll
Did you ever hear a tenor sax
Swingin' like a rusty axe
Honkin' like a frog, down in a hollow log
Baby, that is rock and roll
Did you ever hear a guitar twang
Jingy - jingy - jingy - jang
Ever hear those strings doin' crazy things
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
But honey, if you did, you'd really blow your lid
'Cause 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
In the morning, baby that is rock and roll
In the evening, baby that is rock and roll
