Rock and Roll Will Stand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There was a little night spot on the outskirts of town Where the beer was cheap and the lights turned town There was a boy on stage who could sing a little bit Doing his version or everybody's hits He told himself someday he'll have a million fans Everybody knows rock and roll will stand [Verse 2] A Hollywood agent finally caught the boy's act Gave him a contract and slapped him on the back "On the dotted line please sign your name You're gonna get a star on the walk of fame Soon you'll have the biggest record in the land Everybody knows rock and roll will stand" [Chorus] "We'll clean up your act, take some more photos Everybody loves you the night of the show Annie's little baby's grown up to be a man And everybody knows rock and roll will stand" [Verse 3] At a Hollywood club he gave his premiere show Some kids saw it from the very back row The businessman said "This is where it's at!" The kids said "Man, we can do better than that!" They got some guitars and went out to start a band Everybody knows rock and roll will stand [Verse 4] There was a little nightspot on the outskirts of town Another short drop on the long way down There's a man on stage who never knew when to quit Tellin' everybody he almost had a hit Now he's got a day job working with his hands Everybody knows rock and roll will stand [Chorus] "We'll clean up your act, take some more photos Everybody loves you the night of the show Annie's little baby's grown up to be a man Everybody knows rock and roll will stand" [Refrain] Annie's little baby's grown up to be a man And everybody knows rock and roll will stand
