Allen Toussaint - It Will Stand lyrics

Rock, roll, rock, roll You take some music, music Sweet flowin' music Some movin' and groovin' Rock and roll will stand Take some heart beats drum beats Finger poppin' and stompin' feet Little dances that look so neat You see why it will stand Some folks don't understand it That's why they don't demand it They're out tryin' to ruin Forgive them for they know not what they're doin' Don't nick-name it You might as well claim it It swept this whole wide land Rock and roll forever will stand Hear those sax blowin' Sharp as lightnin' Hear those drums beatin' Loud as thunder Some folks don't understand it That's why they don't demand it They're out tryin' to ruin Forgive them for they know not what they're doin' Don't you nick-name it You might as well claim it It will be here for ever and ever Ain't gonna fade Never, no never It swept this whole wide land Sinking deep in the heart of man Come on boy join our clan Come on boy take my hand Come on boy be a man 'Cause rock and roll will stand Let's do it all over again I feel good let's do it again It'll be here for ever and ever Ain't gonna fade
