Текст песни The Story of Rock and Roll (The Turtles) с переводом

Well, it started out way down south

Took a left and headed on out

It was movin' along very slowly

'Cause it was travelin' by word of mouth

Made a short stop in New Orleans

Then it headed for the New York scene

and the people there, they dug on air

'Cause they found out just what it means, yeah to have…

Rock and roll music, sweet groovy music

Well, it’s the only kind of music

That reaches right to your soul

Here come a guitar-pickin' fella

And he took them by the hand

He said «Now, listen to me, everybody

I got a message that you gotta understand»

And then he took that brand-new music

And he let it cross the U.S. of A.

And now some folks laughed when they heard that sound

But it looks like it’s here to stay, and they call it rock

Rock and roll music, sweet groovy music

Well, it’s the only kind of music

That reaches right to your soul

Rock and roll music

Rock and roll music

Rock and roll music

Talkin' 'bout rock and roll, I like rock and roll, yeah

Long live rock and roll, yeah, talkin' 'bout rock and roll

Rock and roll, sweet groovy music
