If you want to make rock-n-roll music
Everything starts with a beat
It might start with tapping your fingers
It might start with stomping your feet

It could be a song that you made up
It could be a song that you've found
Just take a deep breath, sing it out loud
And make lots of rock-n-roll sounds

You've got to strum, strum, strum your guitar
You've got to pluck, pluck, pluck your bass
You've got to tinkle the keys, and thump on your drums
And start moving all over the place

Once you find your very own rhythm
Add just a pinch of soul
Shake it all up - give it a twist
That's how you make rock-n-roll

Drums! (Drum riff)
Bass! (Bass riff)
Piano! (Piano riff)
Guitar! (Guitar riff)

You've got to strum, strum, strum your guitar
You've got to pluck, pluck, pluck your bass
You've got to tinkle the keys, and thump on your drums
And start moving all over the place
Once you find your very own rhythm
Add just a pinch of soul
Shake it all up - give it a twist
That's how you make rock-n-roll

Shake it all up - give it a twist
That's how you make rock-n-roll!
