Текст песни
In the beginning, back in 1955
Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show and all that jive
The white man had the country
The black man had the blues
Nobody knew what they were gonna do
But Tchaikovsky had the news
He said, "Let there be sound"
And there was sound
"Let there be light"
And there was light
"Let there be drums"
And there was drums
"Let there be guitar"
And there was guitar
Oh, let there be rock!
And it came to pass that rock 'n' roll was born
And every rockin' band all across the land was blowin' up a storm
The guitar man got famous
The business man got rich
And everybody was a super-star with a seven year itch
There were fifteen million fingers learning how to play
Fifteen million fingers picking and this is what they had to say
"Let there be sound, lights, drums, guitar
Oh, let there be rock!"
Once there was a club called The Shaking Hand
On stage was a nineteen-piece rockin' big band
And the music was good and the music was loud
And the singer turned and he said to the crowd
"Let there be rock!"
