Let There Be Rock

In the beginning back in nineteen fifty five

Man didn't know 'bout a rock 'n' roll show,

And all that jive

The white man had the schmaltz,

And the black man had the blues

No one knew what they was gonna do

But Tschaikovsky had the news, 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, let there be rock

And it came to pass, that rock 'n' roll was born

All across the land every rocking band,

Was blowing up a storm

And the guitar man got famous,

The business man got rich

And in every bar there was a superstar,

With a seven year itch

There was 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, let there be rock

One night in a club called the Shaking Hand

There was a 42 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, let there be rock

Let there be rock, let there be rock
