That Is Rock and Roll

Lyrics

In the beginning there was nothing but rock Then somebody invented the wheel And finally just began to roll Did you ever hear the 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 Jingy - jingy - jingy - jang 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's piano band 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 really blow your lid 'Cause baby, that is rock and roll In the morning, in the evening
