Click here to select another song Pierre, Bobby and Marie At the fait-do-do on a Saturday night, Pierre and Bobby got in a fight Sweet Marie was the reason why, It seemed someone might die. Pierre was promised Marie's hand, But Bobby wanted to be her man. Marie couldn't make up her mind She was not the cheatin' kind. But Bobby made her heart beat fast His flashing eyes, the die was cast. She fell so hard, she fell so fast Her resistance couldn't last. Pierre was known far and wide. Men who crossed him often died. He had fists of steel and a tempered blade, But Bobby was not afraid. He needed Marie in his life, He wanted to make her his wife. He couldn't back down, he couldn't let go - Even if his blood should flow. Marie made his heart beat fast Her flashing eyes, the die was cast. He fell so hard, he fell so fast He'd found true love at last. Pierre pulled out his knife, Looked like he was gonna take Bobby's life. "Don't do it!" Marie, she cried, "I couldn't stand it if he died!" "I'll leave with you, I'll be your wife, If you will spare Bobby's life!" Pierre just smiled and shook his head, And this is what he said: "I see Bobby makes your heart beat fast Your flashing eyes, the die was cast. You fell so hard, you fell so fast My chance with you is past. Yeah, Bobby made her heart beat fast His flashing eyes, The die was cast. She fell so hard, he fell so fast They'd found true love at last. Oh, They'd found true love at last. Rock'n Roll When I was a boy back in Ohio And I heard that music on the radio, I knew something good was comin' my way As I listened to the Allen Freed Show. He said the sounds we heard were something new And he called the music Rock and Roll. Well I'd never before been so moved It felt as if it reached into my soul. There was Chuck Berry singing Sweet Li'l 16, And Frankie Lyman saying love's for fools. And Buddy Holly's "That'll Be the Day", And Elvis telling us not to be cruel. I turned in late at night when all was quiet - My folks thought that I'd gone to bed. I'd play the music soft so's not to wake them, And fall asleep with the rhythm in my head. Now people said that music was evil - It would turn me to a sinner, bye and bye. But if that beat would lead me to trouble Well, that was something I couldn't wait to try. There was Chuck Berry singing Sweet Li'l 16, And Frankie Lyman saying love's for fools. And Buddy Holly's "That'll Be the Day", And Elvis telling us not to be cruel. Oh the years have gone by and I'm still rockin' Playin' that old rock and roll Nothing else I know can so move me - That music has become part of my soul. So when I was a boy back in Ohio And I heard that music on the radio, I knew somethin' good was comin' my way, As I listened to the Allen Freed Show.

There was Jerry Lee Lewis with Great Balls of Fire The Everly Brothers crying love bye bye Little Richard knockin' on the door And I knew that rock and roll would never die!
