In the beginning |
| [00:22.24] |
|
| [00:24.06] |
Back in nineteen fifty-five |
| [00:25.69] |
|
| [00:26.87] |
Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show |
| [00:29.26] |
|
| [00:30.13] |
And all that jive |
| [00:31.31] |
|
| [00:32.25] |
The white man had the schmaltz |
| [00:34.06] |
|
| [00:34.82] |
The black man had the blues |
| [00:36.45] |
|
| [00:37.39] |
No one knew what they was gonna do |
| [00:39.71] |
But Tchaikovsky had the news |
| [00:41.60] |
He said |
| [00:42.22] |
Let there be sound and there was sound |
| [00:45.53] |
|
| [00:47.23] |
Let there be lights and there was lights |
| [00:50.98] |
|
| [00:52.57] |
Let there be drums and there was drums |
| [00:56.58] |
|
| [00:57.96] |
Let there be guitar and there was guitar |
| [01:02.00] |
|
| [01:03.19] |
Let there be rock |
| [01:03.94] |
|
| [02:11.41] |
And it came to pass |
| [02:13.41] |
That rock 'n' roll was born |
| [02:14.72] |
All across the land every rockin' band |
| [02:16.59] |
Was blowing up a storm |
| [02:17.65] |
|
| [02:18.96] |
The guitar man got famous |
| [02:20.73] |
|
| [02:21.79] |
The businessman got rich |
| [02:23.29] |
|
| [02:24.22] |
And in every bar there was a super star |
| [02:26.36] |
|
| [02:27.42] |
With a seven year itch |
| [02:28.73] |
|
| [02:29.48] |
There were fifteen million fingers |
| [02:31.31] |
Learning how to play |
| [02:33.55] |
|
| [02:34.61] |
And you could hear the fingers picking |
| [02:36.37] |
|
| [02:37.56] |
And this is what they had to say |
| [02:39.12] |
|
| [02:39.74] |
Let there be light |
| [02:40.56] |
|
| [02:43.05] |
Sound |
| [02:43.49] |
|
| [02:45.61] |
Drums |
| [02:46.11] |
|
| [02:48.11] |
Guitar |
| [02:49.04] |
|
| [02:50.35] |
Let there be rock |
| [02:51.41] |
|
| [03:55.57] |
One night in a club called 'The Shaking Hand' |
| [03:58.04] |
|
| [04:00.78] |
There was a forty-two decibel rocking band |
| [04:02.96] |
|
| [04:05.84] |
The music was good and the music was loud |
| [04:08.29] |
|
| [04:11.43] |
And the singer turned and he said to the crowd |
| [04:13.73] |
|
| [04:16.10] |
Let there be rock |
