Little Richard sang it
And Dick Clarke brought it to life
Danny and the Juniors
Hit a groove struck as sharp as the knife
Well now do you remember
All the guys that gave us rock'n'roll

Chuck Berry's gotta be
The greatest thing that came 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'n'roll

Elvis Presley is the King
He's the giant of the day
Paved the way for the rock'n'roll star

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

Well nothin's really happenin'
'Till the saxophones 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'n'roll

Let's hear the high voice wail (oo-oo-oo-oo)
And here the voice down low (ah-ah ah-ah)
Let's hear the background
(Um-didi-wada um-didi-wada um-didi-wada um-didi-wada)

They gave us rock'n'roll
They gave us rock'n'roll
They gave us rock'n'roll
