Little Richard sang it and [bad word] Clark brought it to life
 Danny and the Juniors hit a groove, stuck as sharp as a knife
 Well now do you remember all the guys that gave us rock and roll

 Chuck Berry's gotta be the greatest thing [bad word] along
 (Hum diddy waddy, hum diddy wadda)
 He made the guitar beats and wrote the all-time greatest song
 (Hum diddy waddy, hum diddy wadda)
 Well now do you remember all the guys that gave us rock and roll
 (Hum diddy waddy doo)

 Elvis Presley is the king
 He's the giant of the day
 Paved the way for the rock and roll stars
 Yeah the critics kept a knockin'
 But the stars kept a rockin'
 And the choppin didn't get very far

 Goodness gracious great balls of fire

 Nothin's really movin till the saxophone's ready to blow
 (Do you remember, do you remember)
 And the beat's not jumpin' till the [bad word] says he's ready to go
 (Do you remember, do you remember)
 Well now do you remember all the guys that gave us rock and roll
 (Do you remember)

 Let's hear the high voice wail (oooooooooo)
 And hear the voice down low (wah-ah ah-ah)
 Let's hear the background
 Um diddy wadda, Um diddy wadda
 Um diddy wadda, Um diddy wadda
 They gave us rock and roll
 Um diddy wadda, Um diddy wadda
 They gave us rock and roll
 Um diddy wadda, Um diddy wadda
 They gave us rock and roll
