Roddy’s daddy Denny saved every penny
To buy a guitar for Rod
Three jobs a day, he took all his pay
And he went down to Don’s pawn shop
Don said "Denny, if you buy this guitar
Your son will be a rock’n’roll star”
Roddy tried his best, he couldn’t pass the test
But he knew that he would some day
Roddy’s baby Betty, she’s got a baby
That she had with Rod’s friend Roge
Sucking on a jelly donut at the deli
Betty’s baby cries for Rod
Denny called Betty, said, "Stay away from my son”
Betty said, “Denny, Roge and I are finished
And Rod is my number one”
Betty’s dad Kenny talked to Bеtty’s mom Jenny
And said, “What can we do?”
Betty’s daddy Kеnny, he called back Denny
And said that he and Rod are true
Betty, too, knows that it’s true, that it’s gonna come true
That rock‘n’roll dreams’ll come through
That it will be true that rock‘n’roll dreams’ll come through
Listen everybody, rock‘n’roll dreams’ll come through!
The music is the master, can’t you hear it calling you?
The rock will bathe you, the roll could save you
If you’re one of the chosen few
That the dream comes true that rock’n’roll dreams’ll come through
Roddy’s brother Buddy, he’s got a buddy
Who works at the five and dime
Whose uncle Ron runs a recording studio
Roddy shows up with a six-string friend
And a head full of tunes
Laid down some tracks, and the tape burned with rock n’ roll fire
Rod took the tape to Radio Rob
The biggest DJ in the land
Rob told Rod that it rocks
Rod told Rob, "get it on the air"
Record Store Ben said, “I’ll take ten, no, fifty-five 45s”
The very next night, the song hit the charts
Straight in at number one
It took a lot of work, blood, sweat and tears
And Roddy’s now a rock’n’roll star
He’ll be the first to tell you that rock’n’roll dreams’ll come through
Listen everybody, rock’n’roll dreams’ll come through!
The music is the master, can’t you hear it calling you?
The rock will bathe you, the roll should save you
If you’re one of the chosen few
That the dream comes true that rock’n’roll dreams’ll come through
