Little Richard sang it and Dick Clark brought it to life
Danny and the Juniors hit a groove, stuck as sharp as a knife
Well now do you remember all the guys that gave us rock and roll
Chuck Berry`s gotta be the greatest thing that`s come along
He made the guitar beats and wrote the all-time greatest song
Well now do you remember all the guys that gave us rock and roll
Elvis Presley is the king
He`s the giant of the day
Paved the way for the rock and roll stars
Yeah the critics kept a knockin`
But the stars kept a rockin`
And the choppin didn`t get very far
Goodness gracious great balls of fire
Nothin`s really movin till the saxophone`s ready to blow
And the beat`s not jumpin` till the drummer says he`s ready to go
Well now do you remember all the guys that gave us rock and roll
Let`s hear the high voice wail (oooooooooo)
And hear the voice down low (wah-ah ah-ah)
Let`s hear the background
They gave us rock and roll
They gave us rock and roll
They gave us rock and roll
