Rock And Roll Is King Lyrics
Well, listen everybody,
Let me tell you ‘bout the rock and roll,
Oh, feel that rhythm,
And it’s really gonna thrill your soul,
Come along with me,
To a land of make believe,
She said, rock and roll is king.
She loves that rock and roll,
And she plays it all night long,
Oh, that’s all she ever tells me,
When I call her on the telephone,
She says, feel that jumping beat,
And get up on your feet,
She says, rock and roll is king.
Oh, let those guitars play,
Play for me, play for me,
Oh, let that song ring out,
That’s how it’s meant to be.
Well, it rolls like a train,
That’s a’ coming on down the track,
She rolled over Beethoven,
And she gave Tchaikovsky back,
Oh, she loves that driving beat;
She goes dancing on down the street,
She said, rock and roll is king.
Well, when she comes around,
And I’m a’ listening to the radio,
She says, you can’t do that,
Cause all I wanna do is rock and roll,
Now, here I’m gonna stay,
Where that music starts to play,
She says, rock and roll is king.
Let me tell you ‘bout the rock and roll,
Oh, feel that rhythm,
And it’s really gonna thrill your soul,
Come along with me,
To a land of make believe,
She said, rock and roll is king.
And she plays it all night long,
Oh, that’s all she ever tells me,
When I call her on the telephone,
She says, feel that jumping beat,
And get up on your feet,
She says, rock and roll is king.
Play for me, play for me,
Oh, let that song ring out,
That’s how it’s meant to be.
That’s a’ coming on down the track,
She rolled over Beethoven,
And she gave Tchaikovsky back,
Oh, she loves that driving beat;
She goes dancing on down the street,
She said, rock and roll is king.
And I’m a’ listening to the radio,
She says, you can’t do that,
Cause all I wanna do is rock and roll,
Now, here I’m gonna stay,
Where that music starts to play,
She says, rock and roll is king.

Awsome song i can't believe nobodys commented on it. About a girl who loves her rock n roll
Brilliant number - using the strong section in place of the guitar solo is genius!!
@Chi-Chief \r\nOops - "string section"

One of my least favorite ELO songs. Very lazy writing. I hate when artists say they want to "get back to basics." Usually it means "boring" because they're dry of ideas.
I do like the little Buddy Holly-sounding ending.
