Lyrics:

In the beginning
Back in nineteen fifty-five
Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show
And all that jive
The white man had the smoltz
The black man had the blues
No one knew what they was gonna do
But Tchaikovsky had the news
He said

Let there be light, and there was light
Let there be sound, and there was sound
Let there be drums, there was drums
Let there be guitar, oh there was guitar
Let there be rock, oh yeah, and roll

And it came to pass
That rock 'n' roll was born
And all across the land every rockin' band
Was blowing up a storm
And the guitarman got famous
The businessman got rich
And in every bar there was a super star
With a seven year itch
And there were fifteen million fingers
Learning how to play
And you could hear the fingers picking
And this is what they had to say

Let there be light
Sound
Drums
Guitar
Woh, let there be rock, come on

One night in a club called 'The Shaking Hand'
There was a forty-two decibel rocking 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
And roll

Rock and roll!
