Lyrics
New York, New York
Is everything they say
And no place that I'd rather be
Where else can you do a half a million things?
All at a quarter to three
When they play their music
Ooh, that modern music
They like it with a lot of style
But it's still that same
Old back beat rhythm
That really, really drives 'em wild
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beatin'
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
Now the old boy, may be barely breathin'
But, the heart of rock and roll
The heart of rock and roll is still beatin'
L.A., Hollywood, and the Sunset Strip
Is something everyone should see
Neon lights and the pretty, pretty girls
All dressed so scantily
When they play their music
That hard rock music
They like it with a lot of flash
But it's still that same
Old back beat rhythm
That really, really kicks 'em in the
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beatin'
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
Now the old boy may be barely breathin'
But, the heart of rock and roll
The heart of rock and roll is still beatin'
Johnny, ow
D.C., San Antone and the Liberty Town
Boston and Baton Rouge
Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City
Seattle, San Francisco, too
Everywhere there's music
Real live music
Bands with a million styles
But, It's still that same
Old rock and roll music
That really, really drives 'em wild
T-T-T-T-They say the heart of rock and roll is still beatin'
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
Now the old boy may be barely breathin'
But, the heart of rock and roll
The heart of rock and roll is still beatin', yeah
In Cleveland
Detroit
Uh, Heart of rock and roll
