My music isn't anything but me. It has jazz in it, and rock'n'roll, and it has an urgency to it.
The cutthroat avenues of rock 'n' roll, I am fed up with. I don't want anything to do with it.
My my, hey hey Rock and roll is here to stay
You can see the hood ornament on the car if you go to the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. But if you want to look at the engine and see what's making it go, then you go to the Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum.
Hey, hey, my, my, rock and roll will never die.
Ain't singing for Pepsi, ain't singing for Coke, I don't sing for nobody, makes me look like a joke.
Rock and roll is here to stay.
