rock around the clock set us on fire
opening a whole new youths desire
rock and roll was a new song
as we were told it did not belong
it was an escape, a safe haven
then there was roll over Beethoven
lets not forget good golly miss molly
or the night he left us, buddy holly
there was chubby and the twist
you just had to wiggle it around like this
then there came four lads from across the sea
there music was to set so many rock and roll hearts free
the flower was its power in 67 of that decade
make love not war was a cry that by 69 had begun to fade
rock and roll has come to define many of us in each generation
love, rebels, metal, disco, psychedelic, punk remember that sensation
lets not forget I want to rock and roll all night
yes the music moves me yes rock and roll is alright
