New York New York
isn't everythin' 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 the music
Ooo 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
rock 'n' roll is still beatin'
And from what I've seen
I believe 'em
Now the old boy may
be barely breathin'
But the heart of rock 'n' roll
Heart of rock 'n' roll
is still beatin'
L.A. Hollywood
and the Sunset Strip
is somethin'
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 really
kicks 'em in the
They say the heart of
rock 'n' roll is still beatin'
And from what I've seen
I believe 'em
Now the old boy may
be barely breathin'
But the heart of rock 'n' roll
Heart of rock 'n' roll
is still beatin'
Johnny
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 same
old rock 'n' roll music
That really really
drives 'em wild
Dit dit dit dit
They say the heart of
rock 'n' roll is still beatin'
And from what I've seen
I believe 'em
Now the old boy may
be barely breathin'
But the heart of rock 'n' roll
Heart of rock 'n' roll
is still beatin' yeah
In Cleveland
Detroit
Uhh heart of rock 'n' roll
