The Spirit of Rock and Roll Lyrics by Beach Boys

The memories still hold us together
No matter if we're young or old
As long as there's music we'll all live forever
In the spirit of rock and roll

Once it's in your blood
You won't be the same, oh no, whoa-oh
Reaching every land
From L.A. to Tokyo, whoa-oh

It's in the heart of every boy and girl
Everywhere, all around the world

The spirit (the spirit), the spirit (the spirit)
The spirit of rock and roll
The spirit (the spirit), the spirit (the spirit)
The spirit of rock and roll
Oh oh oh oh

You know Chuck, Buddy and Elvis
Were first to pave the road, whoa-oh
The roots are deep inside us
It's the rhythm of our soul, whoa-oh

It's the heart that's behind the beat
The only sound that is complete

The spirit (the spirit), the spirit (the spirit)
The spirit of rock and roll
The spirit (the spirit), the spirit (the spirit)
The spirit of rock and roll
Oh oh oh oh

Can you hear it?
Rockin' to the beat (can you hear it?), you've got the spirit (hear it)
Spirit, spirit, spirit

It's in the heart of every boy and girl
Everywhere around the world

The spirit (the spirit), the spirit (the spirit)
The spirit of rock and roll
The spirit (the spirit), the spirit (the spirit)
The spirit of rock and roll
The spirit (can you hear it?), the spirit (the spirit)
The spirit of rock and roll
The spirit (can you hear it?), the spirit (the spirit)
The spirit of rock and roll

The spirit (I can hear it), the spirit (the spirit)
The spirit of rock and roll
The spirit (can you hear it?), the spirit (the spirit)
The spirit of rock and roll

(Composers: Brian Wilson, Gary Usher & Tom Kelly)
