[Verse 1]
You take some music, music
Sweet flowin' music
A little movin' and a-groovin'
And rock 'n' roll will stand

[Verse 2]
You take heart beats, drum beat
Finger pumpin' and a-stompin' feet
A little dance that looks so neat
You see why it will stand

[Verse 3]
But some folks don't understand it
And that's why they don't demand it
They're out tryin' to ruin
Forgive them, for, they know not what they're doin'

[Verse 4]
Well, uh, don't you misname it
In fact, you might as well claim it
It swept this whole wide land
Rock 'n' roll forever will stand

[Verse 5]
Alright, hear those guitars twangin'
Sharper than lightnin'
Hear those drums beat
Louder than thunder
[Verse 6]
But some folks don't understand it
And that's why they don't demand it
They're out tryin' to ruin
But forgive them, for, they know not what they're doin'

[Verse 7]
But don't you misname it
In fact, you might as well claim it
It swept this whole wide land
Sinkin' deep in the heart of man

[Verse 8]
Come on, boy, take my hand (Rock and roll will stand)
Come on, boy, join our clan (Rock and roll will stand)
Come on, boy, be a man (Rock and roll will stand)
Because rock and roll will stand (Rock and roll will stand)
Are your ready? Let's do it again (Rock and roll will stand)
Let's do it all over again (Rock and roll will stand)

[Verse 9]
It swept this whole wide land
Sinkin' deep in the heart of man
Come on, boy, take my hand
(Hey!)
Come on, boy, join our clan
(Hey!)
Come on, boy, be a man
(Hey!)
'Cause rock and roll will stand
(Hey!)
