There was a little night spot

On the outskirts of town

Where the beer was cheap

And the lights turned down

There was a boy on stage

Who could sing a little bit

Doing his versions

Of everybody's hits

He told himself someday he'd have a

Millions fans

Everybody knows, Rock and Roll will stand.

 

A Hollywood agent

Finally caught the boy's act

Gave him a contract

And slapped him on the back

"On the dotted line

Please sign your name

You're gonna get a star

On the Walk of Fame

Soon you'll have the biggest record

In the land,

Everybody knows, Rock and Roll will stand!

 

"We'll clean up your act

Take some more photos

Everybody loves you

The night of the show.

Annie's little baby has grown up

To be a man

Everybody knows, Rock and Roll will stand!

 

At the Hollywood club

He gave his premier show

Some kids saw it from

The very last row.

The businessman said

"This is where it's at!"

The kids said "Man,

We can do better than that"

They got some guitars

And went out to start a band

Everybody knows, Rock and Roll will stand.

 

There was a little night spot

On the outskirts of town

Another short drop

On the long way down

There's a Man on stage

Who never knew when to quit

Tellin' everybody

He almost had a hit

But now he's got a day job

Working with his hands

Everybody knows, Rock and Roll will stand.

 

Everybody knows, Rock and Roll will stand.

Everybody knows, Rock and Roll will stand.

Everybody knows, Rock and Roll will stand.

Everybody knows, Rock and Roll will stand.

 

Annie's little baby has grown up

To be a man

Everybody knows, Rock and Roll will stand!
