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
