Yeah, American boys
Invented rock and roll
Singing rhythm and blues
With a hillbilly soul
Man they caused a sensation
That shook up the nation
American boys
Invented rock and roll
But they say the fat man
He started it all
Pounding that piano
Made the dominoes fall
The [?] went to Memphis
The long distance information
And buddy took the sad plane
To a secret destination
Yeah, American boys
They invented rock and roll
Singing rhythm and blues
Oh with a hillbilly soul
Oh man they caused a sensation
That shook up the nation
I said American boys
Invented rock and roll
Well Hank had his ford
And his two dollar bill
He set the woods on fire
Man it's burning now still
Well Cash got rhythm
And he walked the line
Hitting the Folsom boogie
For a [?]
Well Marty told mama
It will be alright
And little Richard said they're having
Tutti fruit tonight
Well here he had his comet
To bring us the word about
A southern king, nobody ever had heard
Yeah, American boys
Invented rock and roll
Singing rhythm and blues
Oh with a hillbilly soul
Man they caused a sensation
That shook up the nation
I said American boys
Invented rock and roll
Yeah American boys
Invented rock and roll
