The Velvet Underground
Rock & Roll [The Complete Matrix Tapes]
[Intro]
This one's really dynamite... no, it really is, seriously
If I just, just doin' that is dynamite...
See what I mean? Imagine a hundred guitars doin' that at once- ah
Subtle as the falling rain... okay?
This a song called "Rock And Roll," it's about somebody whose life was saved by rock 'n' roll

One, two, three, four...

[Verse 1]
Jennie said when she was just five years old
There was nothin' happenin' at all
Every time she puts on the radio
There was nothin' happenin' at all
Then one fine mornin' she puts on a New York station
She didn't believe what she heard at all
She started dancin' to that fine, fine music
You know her life was saved by rock 'n' roll

[Pre-Chorus]
It took no computations
To dance to the rock 'n' roll station

[Refrain]
And it was all right (It was alright)
[Verse 2]
Jennie said when she was just five years old
There was nothin' happenin' at all
Two TV sets and two Cadillac cars
Well, baby, they won't help you at all
Then one fine mornin'
She heard a New York station
She didn't believe a-what she heard at all
She started dancin' to that fine, fine music
You know her life was saved by rock 'n' roll

[Pre-Chorus]
Despite all the amputations
You could just dance a to that rock 'n' roll station

[Chorus]
And baby it was alright (It was alright)
Hey, here she comes now!

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Jennie said when she was just five years old
There was nothing happening at all
Every time she put on the radio
There was nothin' happenin' at all
But one fine mornin' she heard a New York station
She didn't believe what she heard at all
She started dancin' to that fine, fine music
You know her life was saved by rock 'n' roll
[Pre-Chorus]
It took no computations
To dance to a rock 'n' roll station

[Outro]
It was alright
It was alright
It was alright
It was alright
It was alright
It was alright

[Instrumental]

[Applause]
