I recall the very first time
|
I heard that Rock 'n Roll on the radio
|
Still I feel it like the first time
|
Send shivers down my back right to my toes
|
Now everybody in the school yard
|
Was rockin' for their life the whole week through
|
Come Friday afternoon when school was over
|
We'd plan our secret rendezvous
|
And late at night when all were sleeping
|
I would steal away to find my crew
|
|
Oh, the time that we did have
|
Tales I could tell
|
Wild and crazy night out on patrol
|
Chances we'd take
|
Passion burned like fire in our soul
|
For Rock' n Roll
|
|
I learned to rock while still a baby
|
Learned to roll while still a boy
|
But I did not rock-n-roll 'til I was able
|
To keep myself quite gainfully employed
|
And I've traveled just about the whole world over
|
And you know there ain't too much I've not enjoyed
|
|
Oh, the time that we did have-etc.
|
|
In all these years it gave me power
|
To keep moving
|
It's the only thing I know
|
It's the only way I'll go
|
What I am is what I owe
|
To Rock' n Roll
|
