Like a schoolboy shakin' and quakin'
You fill me up with your rules
Like a king's jester
You made me fester
Teaching me to be your fool
Well you told me I got to be something
So I set for engineer
Well you gave a book, I gave you my look
I say get on outta here
And it was good ol' rock'n'roll
That saved this East End soul
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
That dragged me from below
Well I needed to know the answer
But I didn't get it from you
I was sick of fighting, fussing, fighting
I needed to get through
So I joined a rock'n'roll band
Now I'm the leader yes I am
Hey look a one in a mill shot
I'm making a deal ooh
Hey look out rockin' band
And it was good ol' rock'n'roll
That saved this East End soul
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
That dragged me from below
God bless Buddy Holly, peggy sue
God bless Eddie Cochran, summertime blues
God bless Little Richard, wop bop alu bop, wop bam boom
God bless you, rockin' on too, rock on
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
That saved this East End soul
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
That dragged me from below
And it was good ol' rock'n'roll
That dragged me from from below
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
That saved this East End soul
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
That saved this East End soul
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
Dragged me from below
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
That saved this East End soul
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
That dragged me from below
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
That dragged me from below
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
That dragged me from below
It was good ol' rock'n'roll
That dragged me from below
And it was good ol' rock'n'roll
That saved this East End soul
