George Young - Let There Be Rock lyrics

[Verse 1] In the beginning Back in nineteen fifty five Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show And all that jive The white man had the schmaltz The black man had the blues No one knew what they was gonna do But Tchaikovsky had the news He said let there be sound There was sound Let there be light There was light Let there be drums There was drums Let there be guitar There was guitar Let there be rock [Chorus] And it came to pa** That rock 'n' roll was born All across the land every rocking band Was blowing up a storm And the guitar man got famous The business man got rich And in every bar there was a superstar With a seven year itch There was fifteen million fingers Learning how to play And you could hear the fingers picking And this is what they had to say Let there be light Sound Drums Guitar Let there be rock [Verse 2] One night in the club called the shaking hand There was a 42 decibel rocking band And the music was good and the music was loud And the singer turned and he said to the crowd Let there be rock
