That's Rock & Roll - The Coasters

In the beginning, there weren’t nothin' but rocks

Then somebody invented the wheel

And things just began to roll

Did you ever hear a tenor sax

Swingin' like a rusty axe?

Honkin' like a frog

Down in a hollow log?

Baby, that is rock and roll

Did you ever hear a guitar twang

Dingy, dingy, dingy, dang?

Ever hear those strings

Doin' crazy things?

Baby, that is rock and roll

That ain’t no freight train that you hear

Rollin' down the railroad tracks

That’s a country boy piano man

Playin' in between the cracks

You say that music’s for the birds

And you can’t understand the words

Well, honey, if you did

You’d really blow your lid

'Cause, baby, that is rock and roll

That ain’t no freight train that you hear

Rollin' down the railroad tracks

That’s a country boy piano man

Playin' in between the cracks

You say that music’s for the birds

And you can’t understand the words

Well, honey, if you did

You’d really blow your lid

'Cause, baby, that is rock and roll (in the mornin')

Baby, that is rock and roll (in the evenin')

Baby, that is rock and roll
