That Is Rock And Roll

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
