In the beginning
  Back in nineteen fifty-five
  Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show
  And all that jive
  The white man had the smoltz
  The black man had the blues
  No one knew what they was gonna do
  But Tchaikovsky had the news
  He said -
  "Let there be light", and there was light
  "Let there be sound", and there was sound
  "Let there be drums", and there was drums
  "Let there be guitar", and there was guitar
  "Let there be rock"
  And it came to pass
  That rock 'n' roll was born
  All across the land every rockin' band
  Was blowing up a storm
  The guitarman got famous
  The businessman got rich
  And in every bar there was a super star
  With a seven year itch
  There were fifteen million fingers
  Learning how to play
  And you could hear the fingers picking
  And this is what they had to say
  "Let there be light"
  "Sound"
  "Drums"
  "Guitar"
  "Let there be rock"
  One night in a club called `The Shaking Hand'
  There was a ninety-two decibel rocking band
  The music was good and the music was loud
  And the singer turned and he said to the crowd -
  "Let there be rock"
