"Do You Remember" lyrics

"Do You Remember"

Little Richard sang it and Dick Clark brought it to life
Danny and the Juniors hit a groove, stuck as sharp as a knife

Well now, do you remember all the guys that gave us rock-and-roll?

Chuck Berry's got to be the greatest thing that came along
(Hum diddy waddy, hum diddy wadda)
He made the guitar beats and wrote the all-time greatest song
(Hum diddy waddy, hum diddy wadda)

Well now, do you remember all the guys that gave us rock-and-roll?
(Hum diddy waddy doo)

Elvis Presley is the king
He's the giant of the day
Paved the way for the rock-and-roll stars
Yeah, the critics kept a-knocking
But the stars kept a-rocking
And the chopping didn't get very far
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire
Nothing's really moving until the saxophone's ready to blow
(Do you remember, do you remember?)
And the beat's not jumping until the drummer says he's ready to go
(Do you remember, do you remember?)

Well now, do you remember all the guys that gave us rock-and-roll?
(Do you remember?)

Let's hear the high voice wail (oooooooooo)
And hear the voice down low (wah-ah ah-ah)
Let's hear the background
Um diddy wadda, um diddy wadda
Um diddy wadda, um diddy wadda
They gave us rock-and-roll
Um diddy wadda, um diddy wadda
They gave us rock-and-roll
Um diddy wadda, um diddy wadda
They gave us rock-and-roll
