Coasters - That Is Rock & Roll lyrics

rate me

SPOKEN: <br />

In the beginning, there weren't nothin' but rocks. <br />

Then somebody invented the wheel-- <br />

And things just started in to roll! <br />

<br />

SUNG: <br />

Did you ever hear a tenor sax <br />

Swingin' like a rusty axe? <br />

Honkin' like a frog <br />

Down in a hollow log? <br />

Well, baby, that is rock and roll. <br />

<br />

Did you ever hear a guitar twang, <br />

Dingy, dingy, dingy, dang? <br />

Ever hear those strings <br />

Doin' crazy things? <br />

Well, baby, that is rock and roll. <br />

<br />

That ain't no freight train that you hear, <br />

Rollin' down the railroad tracks-- <br />

That's a country boy piano man <br />

Playin' in between the cracks. <br />

<br />

You say that music's for the birds, <br />

And you can't understand the words? <br />

Well, honey, if you did, <br />

You'd really blow your lid, <br />

'Cause, baby, that is rock and roll. <br />

<br />

That ain't no freight train that you hear, <br />

Rollin' down the railroad tracks-- <br />

That's a country boy piano man <br />

Playin' in between the cracks. <br />

<br />

You say that music's for the birds, <br />

And you can't understand the words? <br />

Well, honey, if you did, <br />

You'd really blow your lid, <br />

'Cause, baby, that is rock and roll. (In the mornin') <br />

Baby, that is rock and roll. (In the evenin') <br />

Baby, that is rock and roll
