New York, New York, is everything they say   And no place that I'd rather be   Where else can you do a half a million things   All at a quarter to three.      When they play their music, ooh that modern music   They like it with a lot of style   But it's still that same old back beat rhythm   That really drives 'em wild.      They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating   And from what I've seen I believe 'em   Now the old boy may be barely breathing   But the heart of rock and roll is still beating.      LA, Hollywood, and the Sunset Strip   Is something everyone should see   Neon lights and the pretty pretty girls   All dressed so scantily.      When they play their music, that hard rock music   They like it with a lot of flash   But it's still that same old back beat rhythm   That really kicks 'em in the.      They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating   And from what I've seen I believe 'em   Now the old boy may be barely breathing   But the heart of rock and roll is still beating.      DC, San Antone and the Liberty Town, Boston and Baton Rouge   Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City, Seattle, San Francisco, too   Everywhere there's music, real live music, bands with a million styles   But it's still that some old rock and roll music that really drives 'em wild.      They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating   And from what I've seen I believe 'em   Now the old boy may be barely breathing   But the heart of rock and roll is still beating...
