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
When they play their music, ooh that modern music
They like it with a lot of style
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
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beating

LA, Hollywood, and the sunset strip
Is something everyone should see
Neon lights and the pretty pretty girls
All dressed so scantily
When they play their music
That hard rockin music
They like it with a lot of flash
But its still that same old back beat rhythm
That really really kicks em in the

They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
And from what I've seen I believe em
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beating

DC, San Antone and the Liberty town, Boston and Baton Rouge
Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma city, Seattle, San Francisco, too
Everywhere there's music, real live music, bands with a million styles
But it's still that some old rock and roll music
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
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beating

In Cleveland, Detroit, heart of rock and roll
