The Coasters

The Coasters are an American rhythm and blues/rock and roll vocal group that had a string of hits in the late 1950s. Beginning with "Searchin'" and "Young Blood," their most memorable songs were written by the songwriting and producing team of Leiber and Stoller. Although the Coasters originated outside of mainstream doo wop, their records were so frequently imitated that they became an important part of the doo wop legacy through the 1960s. more »

In the beginning, there weren't nothin' but rocks
Then somebody invented the wheel
And things just began to roll!

Did you ever hear a tenor sax
Swingin' like a rusty axe?
Honkin' like a frog
Down in a hollow log?
Baby, that is rock and roll

Did you ever hear a guitar twang
Jingy, jingy, jingy, jang?
Ever hear those strings
Doin' crazy things?
Baby, that is rock and roll

That ain't no freight train that you hear
Rollin' down the railroad tracks
That's a country boy piano man
Playin' in-between the cracks

You say that music's for the birds
You can't understand the words?
Well, honey, if you did
You'd really blow your lid
'Cause, baby, that is rock and roll

That ain't no freight train that you hear
Rollin' down the railroad tracks
That's a country-boy piano man
Playin' in between the cracks

You say that music's for the birds
And you can't understand the words?
Well, honey, if you did
You'd really blow your lid
'Cause, baby, that is rock and roll (in the mornin')
Baby, that is rock and roll (in the evenin')
Baby, that is rock and roll
