Let There Be Rock
Lyrics
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 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 guitars And there was guitars 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 Guitar man got famous The businessman got rich And in every bar, there was a superstar With a seven-year itch There were 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 Guitars, ow! Let there be rock ♪ One night in the club called, "The Shakin' Hand" There was a 92-decibel rockin' band And the music was good and the music was loud And the singer turned 'round and he said to the crowd "Let there be rock..."
