[Verse]
New York, NY is everything they say & no place that I d rather be
Where else can you do a half a million things & all at a quarter to three?
When they play their music, oooh that modern music, they like it with a lot of
style but it s still that same old back beat rhythm that really-really drives em wild
They say the heart of R&R is still beating & from what I ve seen I believe em
Now the old boy may be barely breathing but the heart of R&R, heart of R&R is
still beating.
[Verse]
L.A., Hollywood & the Sunset Strip is something everyone should see
Neon lights and the pretty-pretty girls all dressed so scantily
When they play their music, that hard rock music, they like it with a lot of flash
But it s still that same old back beating rhythm that really-really kicks em in the ass
They say the heart of R&R is still beating, and from what I ve seen I believe em
Now the old boy may be barely breathing, but the heart of R&R, heart of R&R is still beating
(x4)
[Verse]
D.C., San Antone, and the Liberty Town, Boston and Baton Rouge
Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City, Seattle, San Francisco too
Everywhere there s music, real live music, bands with a million styles
But it s still the same old rock & roll music that really-really drives em wild
They say the heart of R&R is still beating, and from what I ve seen I believe em
Now the old boy may be barely breathing, but the heart of R&R, heart of R&R is still beating.
