New York, New York,
Is everything They say
And 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,
Ooh that modern music
They like it with a lot of style
But it's still that same
Old back beat rhythm
That really drives 'Em wild.
They Say The Heart Of Rock 'N' Roll
Is Still Beating
And from what I've seen I believe 'Em
Now the old Boy
May be barely breathing
But The Heart Of Rock 'N' Roll
Is Still Beating.
L.A., Hollywood,
And 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 beat rhythm
That really kicks 'Em in the...
They Say The Heart Of Rock 'N' Roll
Is Still Beating
And from what I've seen I believe 'Em
Now the old Boy
May be barely breathing
But The Heart Of Rock 'N' Roll
Is Still Beating.
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 that some
Old Rock And Roll Music
That really, Really drives 'Em wild.
They Say The Heart Of Rock 'N' Roll
Is Still Beating
And from what I've seen I believe 'Em
Now the old Boy
May be barely breathing
But The Heart Of Rock 'N' Roll
Is Still Beating.
In Cleveland, Detroit
Heart Of Rock And Roll.
