LET THERE BE ROCK

In the beginning back in 1955 Man didn't know about a rock and roll show And all that jive The white man have the schmaltz The black man have the blues No one knew what they was gonna do But Tchaikovsky had the news He said, “Let there be sound” And there was sound “Let there be light” And there was light “Let there be drums There were drums “Let there be guitar” There was guitar “Oh let there be rock” And it came to pass that rock and roll was born And all across the land every rockin' band Was blowin' up a storm And the guitar man got famous The business man go rich And everybody was a superstar With a seven year itch There were fifteen million fingers Learning how to play And you could hear the fingers pickin' And this is what they had to say “Let there be light, sound, drums, guitar Oh let there be rock” One night in the cloud come a shakin' hand There was a forty two decibel rockin' 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”
