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 and roll
Chuck Berry's gotta be the greatest
(Hum diddy waddy, hum diddy wadda)
He made the guitar beats and wrote the
(Hum diddy waddy, hum diddy wadda)
Well now do you remember all the guys
that gave us rock and roll
Elvis Presley is the king
He's the giant of the day
Paved the way for the rock and 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
Nothin's really movin till the
saxophone's ready to blow
(Do you remember, do you remember)
And the beat's not jumpin' till the drummer
(Do you remember, do you remember)
Well now do you remember all the
guys that gave us rock and roll
Let's hear the high voice wail
And hear the voice down low
Let's hear the background
Um diddy wadda, um diddy wadda
Um diddy wadda, um diddy wadda
They gave us rock and roll
Um diddy wadda, um diddy wadda
They gave us rock and roll
Um diddy wadda, um diddy wadda
They gave us rock and roll
