Hail Hail Rock 'n' Roll

Pockets of hate, rockets of love

It's never too late, for change in the color of

The color of her, the color of him

It really does matter what skin you're in

Big yellow taxi cab passed me by

Stopped on the next corner to pick up a white guy

The color of you, the color of me

You can't judge a man by lookin' at the marquee

Hail hail rock N roll

Comes from R&B and soul

Don't leave me standin' in the cold

Used to think I'd never grow old

Hail hail rock N roll

Don't leave me standin' on the beat

Don't leave me stranded on the street

I see the light, I feel the heat

Blame it on you, blame it on me

Now let's erase the wound that's in our history

Pain in my heart won't let me be

Take it from me, but don't you take away my liberty

Father of coal, mother of pearl

Never too black to blush, to pick up a white girl

The color of you, the color of me

You can't judge a man by lookin' at the marquee

Hail hail rock N roll

Comes from R&B and soul

Don't leave me standing in the cold

I used to think I'd never grow old

Hail hail rock N roll

Don't leave me standin' on the beat

Don't leave me stranded on the street

I see the light, I feel the heat

Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Fats Domino

Here come Elvis, Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly, and Jerry Lee
