Rock and Roll Is Here to Stay

About Rock and Roll Is Here to Stay

"Rock and Roll Is Here To Stay" is a song written by David White and first recorded by his group, Danny & the Juniors. Released in January 1958 by ABC-Paramount Records as the follow-up to the group's number one hit "At the Hop", it reached number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #16 R&B. The song - with its lyrics of "Rock and roll is here to stay / It will never die" - was originally written in response to attacks on rock and roll music by some conservative radio stations, including KWK in St. Louis, that included the smashing of "undesirable" rock and roll records. It has subsequently been recorded by many other artists, including Sha Na Na (1969) (who later performed it in the 1978 movie Grease as "Johnny Casino and the Gamblers") and Showaddywaddy (2002). more »

Rock 'n roll is here to stay, it will never die
It was meant to be that way, though I don't know why
I don't care what people say, rock 'n roll is here to stay
(We don't care what people say, rock 'n roll is here to stay)
Rock 'n roll will always be our ticket to the end
It will go down in history, just you wait, my friend
Rock 'n roll will always be, it'll go down in history
(Rock 'n roll will always be, it'll go down in history)
So come on, everybody rock, everybody rock
Everybody rock, everybody rock
Everybody rock,Everybody rock
Now everybody rock 'n roll, everybody rock 'n roll
Everybody rock 'n roll,rock 'n roll,rock 'n roll
Everybody rock 'n roll, everybody rock 'n roll
Rock 'n roll will always be our ticket to the end
It will go down in history, just you wait, my friend
Rock 'n roll will always be, it'll go down in history
If you don't like rock 'n roll, think what you've been missin'
But if you like to bop and strawl, come on down and listen
Let's all start to have a ball, everybody rock 'n roll
Ah, oh baby, ah, oh baby, ah
Oh baby, ah, oh baby, rock
