Lyrics:

Rock of Ages tells a short biography of the rock n roll genre, starting with Little Richard, a founder, and ending with the Rolling Stones, the biggest rock group at the time of this song’s release in 1973.
So what if a-wop-bop-a loo-bam boom didn't rhyme?
Billy Haley and the Comets drove me to the prom in time
A Little Richard goes a long long way
More than twenty long years to this day
Rock of ages roll away rock away roll away

We were dancin' in the streets and shapin' our lives in school
When we were simply thirteen, God saved the queen in Liverpool
A mop top mersey goes a long long way
More than ten long years to this day
Rock of ages roll away rock away roll away

Three plays for a quarter is ancient history now
But the Stones roll away and rock that juke box till
Satisfaction goes a long long way
Much more than five long years to this day
Rock of ages roll away rock away roll away
A Little Richard goes a long long way
More than twenty long years to this day
Rock of ages roll away rock away roll away
