Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rock, rock, rock, oh baby,
Rock, rock, rock, oh baby,
Rock, rock rock, oh baby
Rock 'n roll is here to stay,
It will never die
It was meant to be that way,
I don't care what people say,
Rock 'n roll is here to stay
(We don't care what people say,
Rock 'n roll is here to stay)
Rock 'n roll will always be
Our ticket to the end
It'll go down in history,
Just you watch, my friend
Rock 'n roll will always be,
It'll go down in history
(Rock 'n roll will always be,
It'll go down in history)
Everybody rock,
Everybody rock,
Everybody rock,
Everybody rock
Rock, roll, everybody rock
Everybody rock 'n roll,
Everybody rock 'n roll,
Everybody rock 'n roll
Everybody rock 'n roll,
Rock, roll, everybody rock 'n roll
Rock 'n roll is here to stay,
It will never die
It was meant to be that way,
Though I don't know why
I don't care what people say,
Rock 'n roll is here to stay
Rock 'n roll will always be
Our ticket to the end
It'll go down in history,
Just you watch, my friend
Rock 'n roll will always be,
It'll go down in history
If you don't like rock 'n roll,
Think what you've been missin'
But if you like to bop and strawl,
Come on down and listen
Let's all start to have a ball,
Everybody rock 'n roll
Rock, rock, rock, oh baby,
Rock, rock, rock, oh baby,
Rock, rock, rock, oh baby,
Rock, rock, rock, oh baby
Rock, rock, rock, oh baby
Rock, rock, rock, oh baby

The singer declares “I don’t care what people say” and encourages everyone to “rock ‘n roll” because it’s always been and always will be our “ticket to the end.”

My grandfather wrote this song. Besides being my awesome grandpa, he was also a musical mentor to me, giving me feedback and advice every chance he had. I'm very proud to be his grandson and I miss him dearly. He was also one of the 4 members of Danny and the Juniors. He and his writing partner, John Madara, went on to pen another American classic, "You Don't Own Me," originally performed by Leslie Gore. As a mentor in music composition, his mantra to me was, "keep it simple!" as I had the tendency to make things overcomplicated. To this day, I have to recall that one golden nugget of advice almost daily.

Thanks for sharing! I'm sorry he isn't around anymore for you but at least he and the group are still entertaining people through the ages. This song is a masterpiece! I heard this in the film Christine and have loved listening to it ever since.

I’m 16 y/o and my father showed me the movie Christine when I was 8. Since then I fell in love with 50s and 60s music. Now at school I’m roaming around with 50s and 60s music in my headphones hoping that one day I’ll be able to own a 1958 Plymouth Fury or Belvedere 👊🏽🔥

Same story here! Only i was shown the movie at 14

I saw the movie Christine when it was released and I just came back from seeing it on the big screen again for its 40th anniversary. I am 62. Time flies.
