You can tell Jerry Lee and Johnny B,
You’ll never make a soulman of me,
You can book your flight to the USSR,
And put some brown sugar in my tea,
You can dance in the Moonlight with my blue Suede shoes,
When a fireball lands on stage,
But I’ll never feel more like I’ve still got the blues,
Whole Lotta Love in the golden age.

Because I love rock ‘n’ roll,
I hear it in my dreams,
I love the way bass drums beat,
And I love the way the solos scream,
I Love Rock ‘N Roll,
And that’s the way that it goes,
I love the riffs, the licks, the guitar picks,
From my head right down to my toes.

You can play three chords with the matchstick men,
Get back on the highway to Hell,
Fight the law with the pistol punks,
Under the New Jersey spell,
Drink fire and water until you can’t get enough,
Paint your face like an American doll,
Pump it up in the Jungleland,
With sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll

Because I love rock ‘n’ roll,
I hear it in my dreams,
I love the way bass drums beat,
And I love the way the solos scream,
I Love Rock ‘N Roll,
And that’s the way that it goes,
I love the riffs, the licks, the guitar picks,
From my head right down to my toes

Venus and furs are going Underground,
Eliminating hot rod cars,
Gimme three Steps with the southern man,
The bopping elf lives life on Mars,
I’m a substitute, with Nomates at all,
And on the dark side Elvis would play,
I am paranoid in my Silver Machine,
And those cats began to stray,

Because I love rock ‘n’ roll,
I hear it in my dreams,
I love the way bass drums beat,
And I love the way the solos scream,
I Love Rock ‘N Roll,
And that’s the way that it goes,
I love the riffs, the licks, the guitar picks,
From my head right down to my toes

You can walk in Paris with somebody to love,
And the top hat roses man,
With the boys in blue, who break the law,
What’s the story Roxanne,
It took all of the day and all of the night,
The Voodoo Chile went up in flames,
So wear a skull ring and a crucifix,
Grow your hair and change your name.

Because I love rock ‘n’ roll,
I hear it in my dreams,
I love the way bass drums beat,
And I love the way the solos scream,
I Love Rock ‘N Roll,
And that’s the way that it goes,
I love the riffs, the licks, the guitar picks,
From my head right down to my toes
From my head right down to my toes
From my head right down to my toes
