Well, it started out way down south
Took a left turn headed on out
It was movin' along very slow now
'Cause it was travelin' by word of mouth
Made a short stop at New Orleans
Then it headed for the New York scene
And the people there, they dug on air
'Cause they found out just what it means, yeah to have
Rock and roll music, sweet groovy music
Well, it's the only kind of music, yeah
That reaches right to your soul

Here come a guitar-pickin' fella
And then he took it by the hand
He said "Now, listen to me, everybody
I got a message that you gotta understand"
And then he took that brand-new music
And he let it cross the U.S. of A
And now some folks laughed when they heard that sound
But it looks like it's here to stay, and they call it rock
Rock and roll music, sweet groovy music
Well, it's the only kind of music, yeah
That reaches right to your soul
Rock and roll music
Rock and roll music
Rock and roll music
Talkin' 'bout rock and roll (rock and roll music)
I like rock and roll, yeah (rock and roll music)
Long live rock and roll, yeah (rock and roll music)
Talkin' 'bout rock and roll (rock and roll music)
Rock and roll, sweet groovy music (rock and roll music)
I like rock and roll, yeah (rock and roll music)
I think rock and roll, oh
