Rock and Roll Will Stand

There was a little night spot
 On the outskirts of town
 Where the beer was cheap
 And the lights turned down
 There was a boy on stage
 Who could sing a little bit
 Doing his versions
 Of everybody's hits
 He told himself someday he'd have a
 Millions fans
 Everybody knows, Rock and Roll will stand
 A Hollywood agent
 Finally caught the boy's act
 Gave him a contract
 And slapped him on the back
 "On the dotted line
 Please sign your name
 You're gonna get a star
 On the Walk of Fame
 Soon you'll have the biggest record
 In the land,
 Everybody knows, Rock and Roll will stand!
 "We'll clean up your act
 Take some more photos
 Everybody loves you
 The night of the show.
 Annie's little baby has grown up
 To be a man
 Everybody knows, Rock and Roll will stand!
 At the Hollywood club
 He gave his premier show
 Some kids saw it from
 The very last row.
 The businessman said
 "This is where it's at!"
 The kids said "Man,
 We can do better than that"
 They got some guitars
 And went out to start a band
 Everybody knows, Rock and Roll will stand.
 There was a little night spot
 On the outskirts of town
 Another short drop
 On the long way down
 There's guy on stage
 Who never knew when to quit
 Tellin' everybody
 He almost had a hit
 But now he's got a day job
 Working with his hands
 Everybody knows, Rock and Roll will stand.
 "We'll clean up your act
 Take some more photos
 Everybody loves you
 The night of the show.
 Annie's little baby has grown up
 To be a man
 Everybody knows, Rock and Roll will stand!
