Words and music by John Kay I recall the very first time I heard that Rock 'n Roll on the radio Still I feel it like the first time Send shivers down my back right to my toes Now everybody in the school yard Was rockin' for their life the whole week through Come Friday afternoon when school was over We'd plan our secret rendezvous And late at night when all were sleeping I would steal away to find my crew Oh, the time that we did have Tales I could tell Wild and crazy night out on patrol Chances we'd take Passion burned like fire in our soul For Rock' n Roll I learned to rock while still a baby Learned to roll while still a boy But I did not rock-n-roll 'til I was able To keep myself quite gainfully employed And I've traveled just about the whole world over And you know there ain't too much I've not enjoyed Oh, the time that we did have???‚¬?¦etc. In all these years it gave me power To keep moving It's the only thing I know It's the only way I'll go What I am is what I owe To Rock' n Roll ?‚?© 1981 Rambunctious Music ASCAP
