That Is Rock And Roll Lyrics - The Coasters

In the beginning, there weren't nothin' but rocks 

Then somebody invented the wheel 

And things just began to roll! 

Did you ever hear a tenor sax 

Swingin' like a rusty axe? 

Honkin' like a frog 

Down in a hollow log? 

Baby, that is rock and roll 

Did you ever hear a guitar twang 

Jingy, jingy, jingy, jang? 

Ever hear those strings 

Doin' crazy things? 

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 

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
