That Is Rock And Roll
Composer(s): Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller
First release by: The Coasters - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists
In the beginning, there weren't nothin' but rocks
Then somebody invented the wheel
And things just started in to roll!
Did you ever hear a tenor sax
Swingin' like a rusty axe?
Honkin' like a frog
Down in a hollow log?
Well, baby, that is rock and roll
Did you ever hear a guitar twang
Dingy, dingy, dingy, dang?
Ever hear those strings
Doin' crazy things?
Well, 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
