No one knew what they was gonna do But Tchaikovsky had the news He said Let there be sound and there was sound
Let there be lights and there was lights
Let there be drums and there was drums
Let there be guitar and there was guitar
Let there be rock
And it came to pass That rock 'n' roll was born All across the land every rockin' band Was blowing up a storm
The guitar man got famous
The businessman got rich
And in every bar there was a super star
With a seven year itch
There were fifteen million fingers Learning how to play
And you could hear the fingers picking
And this is what they had to say
Let there be light
Sound
Drums
Guitar
Let there be rock
One night in a club called 'The Shaking Hand'
There was a forty-two decibel rocking band
The music was good and the music was loud
And the singer turned and he said to the crowd
Let there be rock
