[00:21.24]In the beginning
[00:22.24]
[00:24.06]Back in nineteen fifty-five
[00:25.69]
[00:26.87]Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show
[00:29.26]
[00:30.13]And all that jive
[00:31.31]
[00:32.25]The white man had the schmaltz
[00:34.06]
[00:34.82]The black man had the blues
[00:36.45]
[00:37.39]No one knew what they was gonna do
[00:39.71]But Tchaikovsky had the news
[00:41.60]He said
[00:42.22]Let there be sound and there was sound
[00:45.53]
[00:47.23]Let there be lights and there was lights
[00:50.98]
[00:52.57]Let there be drums and there was drums
[00:56.58]
[00:57.96]Let there be guitar and there was guitar
[01:02.00]
[01:03.19]Let there be rock
[01:03.94]
[02:11.41]And it came to pass
[02:13.41]That rock 'n' roll was born
[02:14.72]All across the land every rockin' band
[02:16.59]Was blowing up a storm
[02:17.65]
[02:18.96]The guitar man got famous
[02:20.73]
[02:21.79]The businessman got rich
[02:23.29]
[02:24.22]And in every bar there was a super star
[02:26.36]
[02:27.42]With a seven year itch
[02:28.73]
[02:29.48]There were fifteen million fingers
[02:31.31]Learning how to play
[02:33.55]
[02:34.61]And you could hear the fingers picking
[02:36.37]
[02:37.56]And this is what they had to say
[02:39.12]
[02:39.74]Let there be light
[02:40.56]
[02:43.05]Sound
[02:43.49]
[02:45.61]Drums
[02:46.11]
[02:48.11]Guitar
[02:49.04]
[02:50.35]Let there be rock
[02:51.41]
[03:55.57]One night in a club called 'The Shaking Hand'
[03:58.04]
[04:00.78]There was a forty-two decibel rocking band
[04:02.96]
[04:05.84]The music was good and the music was loud
[04:08.29]
[04:11.43]And the singer turned and he said to the crowd
[04:13.73]
[04:16.10]Let there be rock
