Well, it's been quite a while since the rockin' days of the fifties When the first revolution of rock hit you right to the bone Though the first rock singers may be dead and gone Their music will carry them on and on Seems like what they did is here to stay There was Johnny B. Goode, Lucille and Good Golly Miss Molly They were boppin' the hop at the highschool in jeans at the gym And if anyone thought they would let us down Let me tell you their music is still around Seems like what they did is here to stay Like a Rock Machine spinnin' all over the world Like a Rock Machine for every boy and girl When Johnny B. Goode hit the promised land He dug those rhythm and blues Like a Rock Machine the jukebox blows a fuse Well, it's been quite a while since the rockin' days of the sixties When the comeback of the rhythm and blues introduced you to soul And as Mayall and Jagger hit you to the bone Zimmerman told you 'bout a Rolling Stone Seems like what they did is here to stay Like a Rock Machine spinnin' all over the world Like a Rock Machine for every boy and girl When Johnny B. Goode hit the promised land He dug those rhythm and blues Like a Rock Machine the jukebox blows a fuse
