Let There Be Rock

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 schmaltz The black man had the blues No one knew what they was gonna do But Tchaikovsky had the news He said "Let there be sound," there was sound "Let there be light," there was light "Let there be drums," there was drums "Let there be guitar," there was guitar "Oh, let there be rock" Woo And it came to pass That rock 'n' roll was born And all across the land, every rockin' band Was blowing up a storm And the guitar man got famous The businessman got rich And in every bar there was a superstar 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 Oh, let there be rock" One night in a club called The Shaking Hand There was a forty-two decibel rocking 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"
