(Written by Jeff Lynne)
Well, listen everybody let me tell you 'bout the Rock and Roll
Oh, feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your soul
Come along with me to a land of make believe
She said... Rock and Roll is king
She loves that Rock and Roll and she plays it all night long
Oh, that's all she ever tells me when I call her on the telephone
She says feel that jumpin' beat and get up on your feet
She says... Rock and Roll is king
Oh let those guitars play, play for me, play for me
Oh let that song ring out, that's how it's meant to be
Well, it rolls like a train that's comin' on down the track
She rolled over Beethoven and she gave Tchaikovsky back
Oh, she loves that drivin' beat, she goes dancin' on down the street
She said... Rock and Roll is king
Oh, rock on
Oh let those guitars play, play for me, play for me
Oh let that song ring out, that's how it's meant to be
Well, when she comes around and I'm listenin' to the radio
She says you can't do that 'cause all I wanna do is Rock and Roll
Now here I'm gonna stay where that music starts to play
She says... Rock and Roll is king
Oh yeah... Rock and Roll is king
Ooh oh... Rock and Roll is king
Oh yeah... Rock and Roll is king
She said... Rock and Roll is king
