[00:21.240]In the beginning
[00:22.240]
[00:24.060]Back in nineteen fifty-five
[00:25.690]
[00:26.870]Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show
[00:29.260]
[00:30.130]And all that jive
[00:31.310]
[00:32.250]The white man had the schmaltz
[00:34.060]
[00:34.820]The black man had the blues
[00:36.450]
[00:37.390]No one knew what they was gonna do
[00:39.710]But Tchaikovsky had the news
[00:41.600]He said
[00:42.220]Let there be sound and there was sound
[00:45.530]
[00:47.230]Let there be lights and there was lights
[00:50.980]
[00:52.570]Let there be drums and there was drums
[00:56.580]
[00:57.960]Let there be guitar and there was guitar
[01:02.000]
[01:03.190]Let there be rock
[01:03.940]
[02:11.410]And it came to pass
[02:13.410]That rock 'n' roll was born
[02:14.720]All across the land every rockin' band
[02:16.590]Was blowing up a storm
[02:17.650]
[02:18.960]The guitar man got famous
[02:20.720]
[02:21.790]The businessman got rich
[02:23.290]
[02:24.220]And in every bar there was a super star
[02:26.360]
[02:27.420]With a seven year itch
[02:28.720]
[02:29.470]There were fifteen million fingers
[02:31.310]Learning how to play
[02:33.550]
[02:34.610]And you could hear the fingers picking
[02:36.370]
[02:37.560]And this is what they had to say
[02:39.120]
[02:39.740]Let there be light
[02:40.560]
[02:43.050]Sound
[02:43.490]
[02:45.610]Drums
[02:46.110]
[02:48.110]Guitar
[02:49.040]
[02:50.350]Let there be rock
[02:51.410]
[03:55.570]One night in a club called 'The Shaking Hand'
[03:58.040]
[04:00.780]There was a forty-two decibel rocking band
[04:02.960]
[04:05.840]The music was good and the music was loud
[04:08.290]
[04:11.430]And the singer turned and he said to the crowd
[04:13.730]
[04:16.100]Let there be rock
