In the beginning<br />
Back in nineteen fifty-five<br />
Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show<br />
And all that jive<br />
The white man had the smoltz<br />
The black man had the blues<br />
No one knew what they was gonna do<br />
But Tchaikovsky had the news<br />
He said -<br />
"Let there be light", and there was light<br />
"Let there be sound," and there was sound<br />
"Let there be drums," and there was drums<br />
"Let there be guitar," and there was guitar<br />
"Let there be rock"<br />
And it came to pass<br />
That rock 'n' roll was born<br />
All across the land every rockin' band<br />
Was blowing up a storm<br />
The guitarman got famous<br />
The businessman got rich<br />
And in every bar there was a super star<br />
With a seven year itch<br />
There were fifteen million fingers<br />
Learning how to play<br />
And you could hear the fingers picking<br />
And this is what they had to say<br />
"Let there be light"<br />
"Sound"<br />
"Drums"<br />
"Guitar"<br />
"Let there be rock"<br />
One night in a club called 'The Shaking Hand'<br />
There was a ninety-two decibel rocking band<br />
The music was good and the music was loud<br />
And the singer turned and he said to the crowd -<br />
"Let there be rock"
