Rock and Roll, Read All About It!

from Let's Get Creative by Monty Harper

lyrics

Les Paul and Leo Fender, musicians and inventors
paved the way toward a brand new thing.
Bill Hailey kicked it off with his "Rock Around the Clock."
Elvis Presley shook it up as the King.
Buddy Holly and his Crickets, Chuck Berry, Little Richard
helped 1950s music take wing.

Rock and Roll!
Read all about it!
Rock and Roll!
Legends that surround it!
Rock and Roll!
Listen to the story behind the beat!

In 1962 we got The Beatles' Love Me Do.
It was the shout heard round the nation.
The Kinks, the Rolling Stones, and the Zombies added tones
that rocked us through the British Invasion.
Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin helped flower power blossom
at Woodstock - a rock celebration!

Rock and Roll!
Read all about it!
Rock and Roll!
Legends that surround it!
Rock and Roll!
Listen to the story behind the beat!

Led Zeppelin and the Who rocked the 70s anew,
while disco tried to steal the scene.
Motown kept its soul, while Journey let it roll.
The voltage grew with Kiss and Queen.
New Wave crashed the party with Devo, Clash, and Blondie.
We had a bit of everything!

Rock and Roll!
Read all about it!
Rock and Roll!
Legends that surround it!
Rock and Roll!
Listen to the story behind the beat!

There was a whole new world to see when they turned on MTV.
Video killed the radio star.
Bon Jovi had big hair, and the ladies rocked with flair
like Joan Jet and Pat Benatar.
Aerosmith and Ozzy joined the 1980's party,
while Van Halen re-invented guitar.

In the 90's grunge was the sonic truth.
In 2K Pop Rock rules the youth.
There are future chapters still to sing.
Who's gonna be the next be the next big thing?
Could it be you?

Rock and Roll!
Read all about it!
Rock and Roll!
Legends that surround it!
Rock and Roll!
Listen to the story behind the beat!

Rock and roll! (repeat and fade)
