God gave rock and roll to you
gave rock and roll to you
put it in the soul of everyone,
god gave rock and roll to you
gave rock and roll to you
saved rock and roll for everyone

love your friend and love your neighbour
love your life and love your neighbour
no it's never too late to change your mind
don't step on snails, don't climb in trees,
love cliff richard but please don't tease
it's never too late to change your mind

God gave rock and roll to you,
gave rock and roll to you
put it in the soul of everyone
God gave rock and roll to you
gave rock and roll to you
saved rock and roll for everyone

If you wanna be a singer or play guitar
man you've gotta sweat or you won't get far,
coz it's never too late to work 9 to 5
and if you're young then you'll never grow old
music can make your dreams unfold
how good it feels to be alive

God gave rock and roll to you
gave rock and roll to you
put it in the soul of everyone
God gave rock and roll to you
gave rock and roll to you
saved rock and roll for everyone
