In the beginning there was nothin' but rock.
Then somebody invented the wheel and things just began to roll.

Did you ever hear a tenor sax
Swingin' like a rusty ax
Hoppin' like a frog
Down in a hollow log
Baby, that is rock and roll

Did you ever hear a guitar twang
Jing-a-jing-a-jing-a-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 country born piano man
Playin' in between the cracks
You say that music's for the birds
And you can't understand the words
We'll 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 country born piano man
Playin' in between the cracks
You say that music's for the birds
And you can't understand the words
We'll honey, if you did
You'd really blow your lid
'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
