Rock N Roll

Rock n Roll

			Rock n roll
			Do the stroll
			The sounds of the 50’s and 60’s
			Elvis Presley singing about “Hound Dog”
			Girls screaming at his feet,
			Elvis “The King”
			Rock n roll
			Has that beat
			Frankie Avalon singing “Venus”
			Bobby Rydell, you can’t “Forget Him”,
			Fabian, well we know what he wants 
			“Turn Me Loose”	
			Rock n roll
			Jerry Lee Lewis has “Great Balls of Fire”
			He’s hitting those piano keys with his shoes
			Then there’s the man from New Orleans
			Singing about “Blueberry Hill”
			That’s the one and only Fats Domino
Then the Beattles come on the scene
			The British Invasion
			“I Want to Hold Your Hand”
			The BeeGees arrive from Australia
			“The Lights are On in Massachusetts”
			The Dave Clark Five and the Herman Hermits
			The Rolling Stones make a big hit
			That’s what rock n roll is
			That’s the sound, that’s the beat
			It gets you on your feet
			That’s Rock n Roll.

			Celine Rose Mariotti
