Story of Rock & Roll Lyrics

The Turtles The Story of Rock & Roll Lyrics:
Well, it started out way down south,
Took a left & headed on out.
It was movin' 'long very slow, now,
'Cause it was travelin' by word of mouth.
Made a short stop at New Orleans,
Then it headed for the New York scene.
And the people there, they dug on air,
'Cause they found out just what it means,
Yeah, to have...

Rock & roll music,
Sweet groovy music.
Well, it's the only kind of music, yeah.
That reaches right into your so-oh-oh-oul, yeah.

(Hey, hey! Agh!)

Here come a guitar-pickin' fella,
And then he took it by the hand,
He said, "Now, listen to me, everybody,
I got a message that you gotta understand."
And then he took that brand-new music,
And he led it cross the U.S. of A.,
And now some folks laughed when they heard that sound.
But it looks like it's here to stay,
And they call it Rock.

Rock & roll music (ha!),
Sweet groovy music.
Well, it's the only kind of music, yeah.
That reaches right into your so-oh-oh-oul, yeah.

Rock & roll music.
Rock & roll music.
Rock & roll music.
Talkin' 'bout a-rock & roll,
(Rock & roll.)
I like rock & roll, yeah.
(Rock & roll.)
Long live rock & roll.
(Rock & roll.)
Talkin' 'bout rock & roll.
(Rock & roll.)
Rock & roll, sweet groovy music.
[Fade.]
(Rock & roll.)
Sweet groovy music.
I like rock & roll.
(Rock & roll.)
I dig rock & roll...
