Rock n Roll is Music Now — текст песни (James Taylor)

Mama knows and papa knows

That rock n roll is music now

Babys been cutting his teeth on

Bo diddleys, Im a man, man

Listen to the wolfman howl



See the white man sailing his ship up on the sea

Watch the white man shackle

The black man to a tree

To the invader go the fruits of war

He misses home and his boots are sore

He has not got no roots no more

He comes for your gold

Watch out for your soul



Cause tennis shoes, and rhythm and blues

Are second generation

All across the nation, now

And mama knows, papa too

Rock n roll is music

Rock n roll is music, now



To the invader go the fruits of war

He misses home and his boots are sore

He has not got no roots no more

He comes for your gold

But watch out for your soul



Mama knows and papa knows

That rock n roll is music

Rock n roll is music, now
