They Called It Rock |
They went and cut the record, the record hit the charts |
Someone in the newspaper said that it was art |
The disco casanova had it heavy on the breath |
The local teeny-bopper band was playing it to death |
They called it rock |
The telephones are ringing, the boys are getting hot |
They’re jettin’out to Rio and some other sunny spots |
Some senorita says the singer sounds terrific |
The personal appearances are stopping the traffic |
They called it rock |
Hey long distance, it’s a rock and roll romance |
CBS is gonna pay a great big advance |
Hey Atlantic, come on take a chance |
Arista say they love it but the kids can’t dance to it |
They cut another record, it never was a hit |
Someone in the newspaper said it was shit |
The drummer is a bookie, the singer is a whore |
The bass player’s selling clothes he never would have wore |
They called it rock |
