Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tell me your heart's not leaping out of your chest right now
Can you feel it? Monday night, we take a long overdue bite right outta the Big Apple!
[Verse 2]
New York, New York, is it 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?
[Verse 3]
When they play that music, ooh, that modern music
They pack it with a lot of style
But it's still that same old backbeat rhythm
That really really drives 'em wild
[Chorus]
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beatin'
And from what I've seen, I believe 'em
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beatin'
[Verse 4]
LA, Hollywood and the Sunset Strip
Is something everyone should see
Neon lights and the pretty boys and girls
All dressed so scantily
[Verse 5]
When they play their music, their hard rocking music
They play it with a lot of flash
But it's still that same old backbeat rhythm
That really really kicks 'em in the-, Bobby!
[Chorus]
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beatin'
And from what I've seen, I believe 'em
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the heart of rock and roll, the heart of rock and roll is still beatin'
[Verse 6]
But I just got promoted at work
I brought in that huge deal and if I'm not a part of it, it'll go away
Oh my god, it's cardboard! This is your destiny
But don't take it from me
Take it from the thousands of screaming, sweaty, lusty fans
[Verse 7]
DC, San Antone, and the Liberty Town
Boston and a Baton Rouge
Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City
Seattle, San Francisco, too
[Verse 8]
Everywhere there's music, real live music
Bands with a million styles
But it's still that same old backbeat rhythm
That really, really drives 'em wild
[Chorus]
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beatin'
And from what I've seen, I believe 'em
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll
[Verse 9]
Well?
What's it gonna be?
I'm in
[Outro]
Dit-dit-dit-dit, they say the heart of rock and roll is still beatin'
And from what I seen, I believe 'em
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the heart of rock and roll
Heart of rock and roll
Is still beatin'
