Lyrics:

Well, it started out way down South,
Took a left & headed on out.
It was movin' 'long very slow, now,
'Cause it was travelin' by word of mouth.

Made a short stop at New Orleans,
Then it headed for the New York scene.
And the people there, they dug on air,
'Cause they found out just what it means,
Yeah, to have

Rock 'n roll music,
Sweet groovy music.
Well, it's the only kind of music, yeah.
That reaches right into your so-oh-oh-oul, yeah.

Hey, hey! Agh

Here come a guitar-pickin' fella,
And then he took it by the hand,
He said, Now, listen to me, everybody,
I got a message that you gotta understand.

And then he took that brand-new music,
And he led it cross the U.S. of A.,
And now some folks laughed when they heard that sound.

But it looks like it's here to stay,
And they call it Rock.

Rock 'n roll music - ha
Sweet groovy music.
Well, it's the only kind of music, yeah.
That reaches right into your so-oh-oh-oul, yeah.

Rock 'n roll music (3x)

Talkin' 'bout a-rock 'n roll,
Rock 'n roll
I like rock 'n roll, yeah.
Rock 'n roll
Long live rock 'n roll.

Rock 'n roll
Talkin' 'bout rock 'n roll.
Rock 'n roll (2x)
Sweet groovy music.

Rock 'n roll
Sweet groovy music.
I like rock 'n roll.
Rock 'n roll
I dig rock 'n roll
