Lyrics: Yes
 
SPOKEN
In the beginning there were nothing but rocks
Then somebody invented the wheel
And things just begun to roll
 
Did you ever hear a tenor sax
Swinging like a rusty axe
Walking like a dog
Down in a hollow log
Baby that's rock and roll
 
Did you ever hear a guitar twing
Chingy chingy chingy chang
Ever hear the strings
Doing crazy things
Baby that's rock and roll
 
That ain't no freight train that you'll hear
Running like a railroad track
It’s just a country boy, piano man
Playing in between the cracks
They say that music's for the birds
But you can understand the words
Well honey, if you did
You really blow your lid
Cause baby that's rock and roll
 
INSTRUMENTAL
 
That ain't no freight train that you'll hear
Running like a railroad track
It’s just a country boy, piano man
Playing in between the cracks
Did you ever hear a guitar twing
Chingy chingy chingy chingy chang
Ever hear the strings doing crazy thing
Baby that is rock and roll (in the morning)
Baby that is rock and roll (in the evening)
Baby that is rock and roll
Baby that is rock and roll, yeah!
