In your own time and in your way
Rock ‘n roll will be done to you
You can dress up for the opera
But rock ‘n roll will be done to you
It will be done, it will be done, it will be done
It will be done, it will be done, it will be done
Oo- hoo hoo hoo, rock ‘n roll
Even if you don’t understand, it will be done
Even in your own house, it will be done
Giacomo Puccini, where are you now
Hey Giuseppe Verdi, where are you now
In your own time and in you own way
Rock ‘n roll will be done to you
Spend all your days in the library
But rock ‘n roll will be done to you
It will be done, it will be done, it will be done
It will be done, it will be done, it will be done
Even in your own time, it will be done
Even in your own house, it will be done
Giacomo Puccini, where are you now
Hey Giuseppe Verdi, where are you now
Beethoven had his day, but Jerry Lee Lewis gonna blow you away
Mozart, he was a master, but he never even heard of a Stratocaster
Set the volume switches high, and aim the speakers at the sky
The is the Gospe, bare your soul, even God will rock n roll
Giacomo Puccini, where are you now
Hey Giuseppe Verdi, where are you now
I got a can, I got a can, I got a can, you’re gonna wanna
Gonna wanna kick to to my my my my my my my my my my my my my
Backyard, backyard, backyard—
