Rock 'n' Roll Is Music Now - James Taylor

Baby’s been cutting his teeth on Bo Diddley’s, I’m a man, man

Listen to the Wolfman howl

See the white man sailing his ship on the sea

Watch the white man shackle the black man to a tree

To the invader go the fruits of war

He misses home and his boots are sore

He has not got no roots no more

He comes for your gold

Watch out for your soul

Tennis shoes, and rhythm’n’blues are second generation

All across the nation now

Mama knows and Papa, too, that rock’n’roll is music, is music now

To the invader go the fruits of war

He misses home and his boots are sore

He has not got no roots no more

He comes for your gold

Watch out for your soul

'Cause Mama knows and Papa knows that rock’n’roll is music, is music now

I said rock’n’roll is music now

Hark!

Rock’n’roll is music, rock’n’roll is music, rock’n’roll is music now

Rock’n’roll is music, rock’n’roll is music, rock’n’roll is music now

Rock’n’roll is music, rock’n’roll is music, rock’n’roll is music now

Rock’n’roll is music, rock’n’roll is music, rock’n’roll is music now
