Huey Lewis & the News

Huey Lewis and the News is an American pop rock band based in San Francisco, California. They had a run of hit singles during the 1980s and early 1990s, eventually achieving 19 top ten singles across the Billboard Hot 100, Adult Contemporary, and Mainstream Rock charts.

New York, New York, is 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 palt 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 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 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 rock music 
They like it with a lot of flash 
But it's still that same old back beat rhythm 

That 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 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 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 is still beating
