Do You Remember? lyrics

Little Richard sang it and Dick Clark brought it to life

Danny and The Juniors hit a groove, stuck as sharp as a knife

Well, now do you remember all the guys that gave us rock 'n' roll?

Chuck Berry's gotta be the greatest thing that came along

He made the guitar beats and wrote the all-time greatest songs

Well, now do you remember all the guys that gave us rock 'n' roll?

Elvis Presley is the king

He's the giant of the day

Paved the way for the rock 'n' roll stars

Yeah, the critics kept a-knockin'

But the stars kept a-rockin'

And the choppin' didn't get very far

Goodness gracious, great balls of fire!

Nothing's really movin' till the saxophone's ready to blow

And the beat's not jumpin' till the drummer says he's ready to go

Well, now do you remember all the guys that gave us rock 'n' roll?

Let's hear the high voice wail (Ooo-woo-ooo)

And hear the voice down low (Wah-ah-ah-ah)

Let's hear the background um-diddy-waddah

Um-diddy-waddah, um-diddy-waddah...

They gave us rock 'n' roll

They gave us rock 'n' roll

They gave us rock 'n' roll
