IT'S ONLY ROCK AND ROLL

IT’S ONLY ROCK AND ROLL

“I know it’s only rock ‘n’ roll”
The music genre that emerged
In the early to mid-fifties
Called rock music in mid-sixties

With a back beat and a dance rhythm
I know it’s only rock ‘n’ roll
“I wanna rock and roll all night”
To this edgy style of music. 

Music derived from the rhythm and
Blues, boogie-woogie, jazz and swing 
I know it’s only rock ‘n’ roll
With “Rhythm and rhyme and harmony”

So “Let that rhythm get into you”  
In freeing your soul, in dancing
And grooving, in drifting away 
I know it’s only rock ‘n’ roll
