Rock 'n' Roll (4:43/5:45)

(Lou Reed)

Jenny said, when she was just five years old
There was nothing happening at all
Every time she turned on the radio
There was nothin' goin' down at all

Then one mornin', on a Detroit station
Couldn't believe what she heard at all
She started shakin' to that fine fine music
Yeah, her life was saved by rock 'n' roll

Despite all the amputations
You could just dance to that rock 'n' roll station
And it was alright (it's alright)
It was alright (it's alright)
Yeah, it was alright (it's alright)
Alright

Jenny said, when she was just five years old
You know my parents be the death of us all
Two TV sets, two Cadillac cars
You know, they ain't gonna help me at all (not at all)

Then one mornin', on a Detroit station
Can't believe what she hears at all
She started dancin' to that fine fine music
Yeah, her life was saved by rock 'n' roll

Despite all the computations
You could just dance
To that rock 'n' roll station
And it was alright (it's alright)
Hey, it was alright (it's alright)
All alright (it's alright)
She said now it's alright (it's alright)

Jenny Jenny, five years old
Nothing going on at all
Every time she turned on the radio
There was just nothing going down at all (not at all)

And then one mornin' on a Detroit station
She could not believe what she heard at all
She started shakin' to that fine fine music
Yeah, her life was saved by rock 'n' roll

Despite all the agitations
She could just dance
To that rock 'n' roll station
And it was alright (it's alright)
Oh baby, it's alright (it's alright)
Oh, it's alright (it's alright)
I tell ya, it's alright (it's alright)
(It's alright)
Oh!
(It's alright)
Turn it up! Turn it up!
(It's alright)
Oh oh yeah!
(It's alright)
Aw yeah!
