刻むリズムはセカンド・ライン
行くは遥かニューオリンズ
雨が降ろうが風が吹こうが
槍が降ろうが豚が降ろうが
景気をつけろ 塩まいておくれ
今日は楽し カーニヴァル
Rock'n' roll rock'n' roll all night long

The opening lines of 大滝詠一's song ロックン・ロール・マーチ invite the listener to follow the marching rhythm and walk in unison. The drummer sets the beat for the second line, which carries the group to the distant city of New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz music. The lyrics urge the listener to rally and to be resilient, regardless of the challenges that come their way, as they participate in life's celebration.
The lines that follow command attention to be paid to the senseless distractions, be it the forces of nature, hostility, or economic hardship, and instead choose joy and excitement, known as Carnivale in New Orleans, the festival of music, food, and good times. The repeated refrain "rock and roll all night long" adds to the sense of celebration, with the lyrics emphasizing the power of music to unite, inspire and create a space for enjoying life.
