AC/DC - LET THERE BE ROCK lyrics

rate me

In the beginning,

Back in nineteen fifty-five

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 was gonna do,

But, Tchaikovsky had the news

He said, "Let there be sound,"

There was sound

"Let there be light,"

There was light

"Let there be drums,"

There was drums

"Let there be guitar,"

There was guitar

"Oh, let there be rock!"

SOLO

And it came to pass,

That Rock 'N' Roll was born

All across the land, every rockin' band,

Was boilin' up a storm

And the 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 those fingers pickin',

And this is what they had to say:

"Let there be light..."

"Sound..."

"Drums..."

"Guitar..."

"Oh, let there be rock!"

SOLO

One night in a club called The Shakin' Hand,

There was a forty-two decibel rockin' band

And the music was good and the music was loud,

And the singer turned and he said to the crowd:

"Let there be rooooock!"

SOLO
