In the beginning
back in nineteen fifty-five
man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show
and all that jive
the white man had the smoltz
the black man had the blues
no one knew what they was gonna do
but tchaikovsky had the news
he said -
let
there
be
light, and there was light
let
there
be
sound, and there was sound
let
there
be
drums, and there was drums
let
there
be
guitar, and there was guitar
let
there
be
rock
And it came to pass
that rock 'n' roll was born
all across the land every rockin' band
was blowing up a storm
the guitarman got famous
the businessman got rich
and in every bar there was a super star
with a seven year itch
there were fifteen million fingers
learning how to play
and you could hear the fingers picking
and this is what they had to say
let
there
be
light
sound
drums
guitar
let
there
be
rock
One night in a club called 'the shaking hand'
there was a ninety-two decibel rocking band
the music was good and the music was loud
and the singer turned and he said to the crowd -
let
there
be
rock
