Let There Be Rock

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 smokes
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"
And 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!

And it came to pass

That rock 'n' roll was born
And all across the land
Every rocking band
Was blowing up a storm

And the guitar man got famous
The businessmen 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 42 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!"
