That Is Rock & Roll

That Is Rock and Roll - The Coasters

In the beginning there weren't nothin' but rocks

Then somebody invented the wheel

And things just began 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 and roll

Did you ever hear a guitar twang

Dingy dingy dingy dang

Ever hear those strings

Doin' crazy things

Well baby that is rock and 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 and 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 and roll In the mornin'

Baby that is rock and roll In the evenin'

Baby that is rock and roll
