They Called It Rock
Nick Lowe

Well, they went and cut the record, the record hit the chart

And someone in the newspaper said it was art

Disco Cassanova said it's heavy on the riff

The local teeny bopper band was playin' it to death

They called it rock, they called it rock

They called it rock, they called it rock

Well, the telephones are ringing, the boys are getting hot

They're jetting out to Rio and some other sunny spots

Some senoritas say The singers sound terrific

Their personal appearances are stopping the shops

They called it rock, they called it rock

They called it rock, they called it rock

Hey long distance its a rock and roll romance

CBS is going to pay a great big advance

Hey Atlantic come on take chance

Arista say they love you but the kids can't dance to it

Well, they cut another record, it never was a hit

And someone in the newspaper said it was shit

The drummer is a bookie, the singer is a whore

The bass player's selling 'cause he never would have won

They called it rock, they called it rock

They called it rock, they called it rock

Sing it

Hey long distance its a rock and roll romance

CBS is going to pay a great big advance

Hey Atlantic come on take chance

Arista say they love you but the kids can't dance to it

Well, they cut another record, it never was a hit

And someone in the newspaper said it was shit

The drummer is a bookie, the singer is a whore

The bass player's selling 'cause he never would have won

They called it rock, they called it rock

They called it rock, they called it rock

They called it rock, they called it rock

They called it rock
