In the beginning

There weren't nothin' but rocks

Then somebody invented the wheel

And things just started in to roll

Did you ever hear a tenor sax

Swingin' like a rusty axe

Honkin' like a frog down in a hollow log

Well baby that is rock & roll

Did you ever hear a guitar twang

Dingy dingy dingy dang

Ever hear those strings doin' crazy things

Well baby that is rock & roll

That ain't no freight train that you hear

Rollin' down the railroad tracks

That's a country boy piano man

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'd really blow your lid

'Cause baby that is rock & roll

That ain't no freight train that you hear

Rollin' down the railroad tracks

That's a country boy piano man

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'd really blow your lid

'Cause baby that is rock & roll

Baby that is rock & roll

Baby that is rock & roll
