That Is Rock & Roll

Lyrics

[Intro] In the beginning, there were nothin' but rocks Then somebody invented the wheel And things just began to roll [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Did you ever hear a guitar twang Jinga-jinga-jing his jang? Ever hear those strings Doin' crazy things? Baby, that is rock and roll [Chorus] That ain't no freight train that you hear Rollin' down the railroad tracks That's a country-born piano man Playin' in between the cracks [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] That ain't no freight train that you hear Rollin' down the railroad tracks That's a country-born piano man Playin' in between the cracks [Outro] 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
