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 palt their music, ooh that modern music 

They like it with a lot of style 

But t's still that same old back beat rhythm 

That really drives 'em wild 

They say the heart of rock and 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 and roll is still beating 

LA, 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 and 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 and roll is still beating 

DC, 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 drives 'em wild 

They say the heart of rock and 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 and roll is still beating
