Electric Light Orchestra - Rock 'N' Roll Is King Lyrics
Listen everybody let me tell you 'bout the rock 'n' roll
Feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your soul
She said come along with me, to a land of make believe
She said rock 'n' roll is king
That's all she ever tells me when I call her on the telephone
She says feel that jumpin' beat, and git up on your feet
She says rock 'n' roll is king
[Chorus:]
Oh let those guitars play
Play for me play for me
Oh let that song ring out
That's how it's meant to be
She rolled over Beethoven and she gave Tchaikovsky back
She loves that drivin' beat, she goes dancin' on down the street
She said rock 'n' roll is king
[Chorus]
When she comes around and I'm listenin' to the radio
She says you can't do that 'cause all I wanna do is rock 'n' roll
Now here I'm gonna stay where that music starts to play
She says rock 'n' roll is king

🎸🎵👑 R n R!,!!
+++++++++
Beautiful
that bev bevan has to get him self in picture lol
Isso é Vinil das 3, bom demais!!!
this is the type of music that goes to my Heart, Mind and Soul.
I heard this a couple times on hit radio 1983. After that I rarely heard it again. I didn't have MTV, so I never saw the video until I got internet in 2002. I don't understand why the radio stations don't play it. At least they don't in the St. Louis area. This is one of their best songs, IMO.
sometimes I Need this Music and I do the Speaker full off......
who were the other band members in this video?
АХ - КРАСОТА !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Rock and Roll Express brought me here

Listen everybody let me tell you 'bout the rock 'n' roll
Feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your soul
She said come along with me, to a land of make believe
She said rock 'n' roll is king
She loves that rock 'n' roll and she plays it all night long
That's all she ever tells me when I call her on the telephone
She says feel that jumpin' beat, and git up on your feet
She says rock 'n' roll is king
[Chorus:]
Oh let those guitars play
Play for me play for me
Oh let that song ring out
That's how it's meant to be
It rolls like a train that's comin' on down the track
She rolled over Beethoven and she gave Tchaikovsky back
She loves that drivin' beat, she goes dancin' on down the street
She said rock 'n' roll is king
[Chorus]
When she comes around and I'm listenin' to the radio
She says you can't do that 'cause all I wanna do is rock 'n' roll
Now here I'm gonna stay where that music starts to play

Jeff Lynne - virtually everything he was involved with turned to a magical classic (genuine classic).

Lo máximo
I don't like the song or singer.
What a pity :-(
Hermoso, muy nostalgico, presisicimo
In the 80's, the Rock and Roll Express were so over in the Carolinas and this song played a role in that.
One of my favorite tag teams
the best!
I had a girl once that all she wanted to do was "Rock and Roll." Two or three times a day, 7 days a week. If I hadn't have been in my 20's, it would probably have killed me...But what a way to go.
El género más maravilloso en la historia de este planeta, el rock and roll!
long live jeff line!
Great Song hahaha🤘 👍🇧🇷
