Rock 'n Roll Is King

Electric Light Orchestra

Listen everybody let me tell you 'bout the rock'n'roll


Feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your soul


She said come along with me, to a land of make believe


She said rock'n'roll is king


She loves that rock'n'roll and she plays it all night long


That's all she ever tells me when I call her on the telephone


She says feel that jumpin' beat, and git up on your feet


She says rock'n'roll is king


Chorus


Oh let those guitars play


Play for me play for me


Oh let that song ring out


That's now it's meant to be


It rolls like a train that's comin' on down the track


She rolled over Beethoven and she gave Tchaikovsky back


She loves that drivin' beat, she goes dancin' on down the street


She said rock'n'roll is king


Repeat Chorus


When she comes around and I'm listenin' to the radio


She says you can't do that 'cos all I wanna do is rock'n'roll


Now here I'm gonna stay when that music starts to play


She says rock'n'roll is king
