Let There Be Rock |
In the beginning |
Back in 1955 |
Man didn't know 'bout a rock 'n' roll show |
And all that jive |
The white man had the schmaltz |
The black man had the blues |
No one knew what they was gonna do |
But Tschaikovsky 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 was drums |
Let there be guitar, there was guitar |
Oh, let there be rock! |
And it came to pass |
That rock 'n' roll was born |
All across the land every rockin' band |
Was blowin' up a storm |
And the guitar man got famous |
The business man got rich |
And in every bar there was a superstar |
With a seven year itch |
There was fifteen million fingers |
Learnin' 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 a club called the Shakin' Hand |
There was a 42 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" |
