| New York, New York, is everything they say
|
| And no place that I’d rather be
|
| Where else can you do a half a million things
|
| All at a quarter to three
|
| When they play their music, ooh that modern music
|
| They like it with a lot of style
|
| But it’s still that same old back beat rhythm
|
| That really really drives 'em wild
|
| They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
|
| And from what I’ve seen I believe 'em
|
| Now the old boy may be barely breathing
|
| But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beating
|
| LA, Hollywood, and the Sunset Strip
|
| Is something everyone should see
|
| Neon lights and the pretty pretty girls
|
| All dressed so scantily
|
| When they play their music, that hard rock music
|
| They like it with a lot of flash
|
| But it’s still that same old back beat rhythm
|
| That really kicks 'em in the…
|
| They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
|
| And from what I’ve seen I believe 'em
|
| Now the old boy may be barely breathing
|
| But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beating
|
| DC, San Antone and the Liberty Town, Boston and Baton Rouge
|
| Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City, Seattle, San Francisco, too
|
| Everywhere there’s music, real live music, bands with a million styles
|
| But It’s still that some old rock and roll music
|
| That really really drives 'em wild
|
| They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
|
| And from what I’ve seen I believe 'em
|
| Now the old boy may be barely breathing
|
| But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beating
|
| In Cleveland
|
| Detroit!
|
| Huh, heart of rock and roll |
