In the beginning |
| [00:22.240] |
|
| [00:24.060] |
Back in nineteen fifty-five |
| [00:25.690] |
|
| [00:26.870] |
Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show |
| [00:29.260] |
|
| [00:30.130] |
And all that jive |
| [00:31.310] |
|
| [00:32.250] |
The white man had the schmaltz |
| [00:34.060] |
|
| [00:34.820] |
The black man had the blues |
| [00:36.450] |
|
| [00:37.390] |
No one knew what they was gonna do |
| [00:39.710] |
But Tchaikovsky had the news |
| [00:41.600] |
He said |
| [00:42.220] |
Let there be sound and there was sound |
| [00:45.530] |
|
| [00:47.230] |
Let there be lights and there was lights |
| [00:50.980] |
|
| [00:52.570] |
Let there be drums and there was drums |
| [00:56.580] |
|
| [00:57.960] |
Let there be guitar and there was guitar |
| [01:02.000] |
|
| [01:03.190] |
Let there be rock |
| [01:03.940] |
|
| [02:11.410] |
And it came to pass |
| [02:13.410] |
That rock 'n' roll was born |
| [02:14.720] |
All across the land every rockin' band |
| [02:16.590] |
Was blowing up a storm |
| [02:17.650] |
|
| [02:18.960] |
The guitar man got famous |
| [02:20.720] |
|
| [02:21.790] |
The businessman got rich |
| [02:23.290] |
|
| [02:24.220] |
And in every bar there was a super star |
| [02:26.360] |
|
| [02:27.420] |
With a seven year itch |
| [02:28.720] |
|
| [02:29.470] |
There were fifteen million fingers |
| [02:31.310] |
Learning how to play |
| [02:33.550] |
|
| [02:34.610] |
And you could hear the fingers picking |
| [02:36.370] |
|
| [02:37.560] |
And this is what they had to say |
| [02:39.120] |
|
| [02:39.740] |
Let there be light |
| [02:40.560] |
|
| [02:43.050] |
Sound |
| [02:43.490] |
|
| [02:45.610] |
Drums |
| [02:46.110] |
|
| [02:48.110] |
Guitar |
| [02:49.040] |
|
| [02:50.350] |
Let there be rock |
| [02:51.410] |
|
| [03:55.570] |
One night in a club called 'The Shaking Hand' |
| [03:58.040] |
|
| [04:00.780] |
There was a forty-two decibel rocking band |
| [04:02.960] |
|
| [04:05.840] |
The music was good and the music was loud |
| [04:08.290] |
|
| [04:11.430] |
And the singer turned and he said to the crowd |
| [04:13.730] |
|
| [04:16.100] |
Let there be rock |
