The Heart of Rock and Roll Lyrics by Corey Cott

The Heart of Rock and Roll (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2024

[JJ, spoken]
Tell me your heart's not leaping out of your chest right now
Can you feel it?
Monday night we take a long-overdue bite right out of the Big Apple!
(sung)
New York, New York, is it everything they say?
And no place that I'd rather be
Where else can you do a half a million things
All at a quarter to three
[ELI]
When they play their music, ooh, that modern music
They pack it with a lot of style
[JJ & ELI]
But it's still that same old back beat rhythm
That really really drives 'em wild
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
[JJ]
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the
[JJ, ELI, & FJORD]
Heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll
[JJ]
Is still beating
[FJORD]
L.A., Hollywood, and the Sunset Strip
Is something everyone should see
Neon lights and the pretty boys and girls
All dressed so scantily
When they play their music, that hard rock music
They play it with a lot of flash
But it's still that same old back beat rhythm
That really kicks 'em in the
Bobby!
[JJ, ELI, & FJORD]
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
[FJORD]
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the
[JJ, ELI, & FJORD]
Heart of rock and roll, the heart of rock and roll
[FJORD]
Is still beating
[BOBBY, spoken]
But I just got promoted at work! I brought 'em a huge deal and if I'm not a part of it, it'll go away
[JJ, spoken]
Oh my God, it's cardboard!
[FJORD, spoken]
This is your destiny! But don't take it from me. Take it from the thousands of screaming, sweaty, nasty fans!
[JJ, ELI, & FJORD]
D.C., San Antone and the Liberty Town
[ELI]
Boston and Baton Rouge
[JJ, ELI, & FJORD]
Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City
[JJ]
Seattle
[JJ & FJORD]
San Francisco too
[JJ, ELI, & FJORD]
Everywhere there's music, real live music
Bands with a million styles
But it's still that same old back beat rhythm
That really, really drives them wild
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
[JJ]
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
[JJ, ELI, & ROZ]
But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll
[JJ, spoken]
Well? What's it gonna be?
[BOBBY, spoken]
I'm in
[ALL]
Th-th-th-th-they say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
[BOBBY]
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
[ALL]
But the heart of rock and roll
Heart of rock and roll
Is still beating
