In the be gin ning,
back in nine teen fif ty five,
man did n’t know ’bout a rock and roll show
and all that jive.
The white man had the schmaltz,
the black man had the blues.
No one knew what they was gon na do, but Tchai kov sky had the news.
He said, let there be light,
and there was light.
Let there be sound, tar,
and there was sound.

Let there be drums,
and there was drums.
Let there be gui tar,
and there was gui tar.
Let there be drums,
Let there be rock!
And it came to pass
that rock and roll was born.
All a cross the land, ev ’ry rock ing band was blow ing up a storm.
And the gui tar man got fa mous,
the busi ness man got rich
and in ev ’ry bar there was a su per star
with a sev en year itch.
There was fif teen mil lion fin gers
learn ing how to play,
and you could hear the fin gers pick ing,
and this is what they had to say:
Let there be light,

Oh, let there be rock!
One night in a club called the Shak ing Hand

And the mu sic was good and the mu sic was loud.
And the sing er turned and he said to the crowd:
Let there be rock!
