Old Liberace could tickle the keys
But Jerry Lee Lewis could really please
See his fingers fly
Like fire across the sky
He could make a thunder roll
Penetrate into your soul
With rock and roll
With rock and roll, yes that rock and roll
Gets way down deep into your feet and into your soul
That rock and roll, yes that rock and roll
You come alive when that rockin' jive takes control
Now old Satchmo could really blow his horn
To rival Gabriel on that final morn
He could play it loud
He could rouse up a crowd
He could make a lightening flash
Followed by a thunder crash
With rockin' jazz
Old Bill Haley could rock around the clock
Elvis had 'em rockin' in the whole cell block
See him shake his hips
And see him curl his lips
He could bring the whole house down
With just a smile or a frown
And with rock and roll
