Birth of the Beat

Oohaaaarh yeah
Yesterday is gone and I'm sad to say
The music really rocked in a special way
Back in '65 the bands could really play
Ooh you knew you were alive 'cause they made that way

And we all sang out as the bands played with jump and shout
And we all sang out, yeah they knew what Rock and Roll was all about

At the beginning at the start
Hey the songs back then came straight from the heart
And I got a lot of kicks back in '66
And I burned pretty hot and learned their licks
We just couldn't stay in our seat back in the days of the birth of the beat
We were all learning to use our feet back in the days of the birth of the beat
Good rockin' music had a lot things to say
Good rockin' music still makes me wanna roll today, come on roll baby

I can remember the beat so strong
Driving in the car with the radio on
It's the same old feeling that I've got today
Hey, hey, Rock and music will never fade away
