    Let There Be Rock
    (A. Young / M. Young / B. Scott)

    in the beginning
    back in nineteen fifty five
    man didn't know 'bout a rock 'n' roll show
    and all that jive
    the white man had the schmaltz
    the black man had the blues
    no one knew what they was gonna do
    but Tschaikovsky had the news
    he said let there be sound
    there was sound
    let there be light
    there was light
    let there be drums
    there was drums
    let there be guitar
    there was guitar
    let there be rock

    and it came to pass
    that rock 'n' roll was born
    all across the land every rockin' band
    was blowin' up a storm
    and the guitar man got famous
    the business man got rich
    and in every bar there was a superstar
    with a seven year itch
    there was fifteen million fingers
    learnin' how to play
    and you could hear the fingers pickin'
    and this is what they had to say
    let there be light
    sound
    drums
    guitar
    let there be rock

    one night in the club called the shakin' hand
    there was a 42 decibel rockin' band
    and the music was good and the music was loud
    and the singer turned and he said to the crowd
    let there be rock

    Bad Boy Boogie
    (A. Young / M. Young / B. Scott)

    on the day I was born the rain fell down
    there was trouble brewin' in my home town
    it was the seventh day I was the seventh son
    and it scared the hell out of every one
    they said stop
    I said go
    they said fast
    I said slow
    they said lost
    I said no
    I do the bad boy boogie

    bein' a bad boy ain't that bad
    I had me more dirty women than most men ever had
    all you women come along with me
    and I'll show how good a bad boy can be
    I said right
    and they said left
    I said east
    and they said west
    I said up
    and they said down
    I do the bad boy boogie
    all over town

    I wouldn't tell you no story
    tell you no lie
    I was born to love till the day I die
    I just line em up
    and I knock em down
    and they all came a runnin' when the word got around
    just keep runnin'
    I said up
    they said down
    they said straight
    I said round
    they said lost
    I said found
    I said free
    they said bound
    bad boy boogie
    do the bad boy
    bad boy boogie
    bad boy boogie

    Problem Child
    (A. Young / M. Young / B. Scott)

    Overdose
    (A. Young / M. Young / B. Scott)

    I never smoked me no cigarettes
    I never drank much booze
    but I'm only a man don't ya understand
    and a man can sometimes lose
    you gave me somethin' I never had
    pulled me down with you
    hit me up with a big hunka love
    hope you can pull me through
    I overdosed on you

    more 'n I can take
    but listen honey

    you're a habit I don't wanna break
    don't want me none of the harder stuff
    don't need it anymore
    I'm in hell
    and I'm sinkin' fast
    and I don't need no cure
    I overdosed on you
    I overdosed on you
    crazy but it's true
    ain't nothin' I can do
    I overdosed on you

    I'm as happy as a man can be
    too far gone to save
    died of love
    and plenty of

    Crabsody In Blue
    (A. Young / M. Young / B. Scott)

    well they moved on down
    and they crawled around
    walkin' sideways
    sideway walkin'
    give me the blues
    and you start to scratch
    when they start to hatch
    walkin' sideways
    sideway walkin'
    give me the blues
    when they start to bite
    then it's time you saw the light
    for an appointment
    I know, before you start to scream
    that's when you apply the cream
    blues ointment
    rub it in

    well the doctor said
    we got to make 'em dead
    walkin' sideways
    sideway walkin'
    give me the blues
    and when you start to scream
    that's when you apply the cream
    blues ointment
    and when they start to itch
    you go out and you take the bitch
    for an appointment

    well you rub it on
    and you rub it in
    stops 'em walkin'
    sideway walkin'
    gives them the blues

    sideway walkin'
    sideway walkin'
    they got the blues
    give them the blues
    they got the blues
    give them the blues

    Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be
    (A. Young / M. Young / B. Scott)

    sometimes I think this woman is kinda hot
    sometimes I think this woman is sometimes not
    puts me down
    fool me around
    why she do it to me
    out for satisfaction
    any piece of action
    that ain't the way it should be
    she needs lovin'
    knows I'm the man
    she' gotta see
    pours my beer
    licks my ear
    brings out the devil in me
    hell ain't a bad place to be

    spends my money
    drinks my booze
    stays out every night
    but I got to thinkin'
    hey, just a minute
    somethin' ain't right
    disillusions and confusion
    make me wanna cry
    the shame you
    playin' your games
    tellin' me those lies
    don't mind her playin' demon
    as long as it's with me
    if this is hell
    then let me say
    it's heavenly
    hell ain't a bad place to be

    late at night
    turns down the light
    closes up on me
    opens my heart
    tears me apart
    brings out the devil in me

    hell ain't a bad place to be
    I said
    hell ain't a bad place to be
    hell
    ain't a bad place to be
    hell
    ain't a bad place to be

    Whole Lotta Rosie
    (A. Young / M. Young / B. Scott)

    whole lotta Rosie
    whole lotta Rosie
    whole lotta Rosie
    and you're a whole lotta woman

    honey you can do it
    do it to me all night long
    only one who turn me
    only one who turn me on
    all through the night time
    right around the clock
    to my surprise
    Rosie never stops
    she was a whole lotta woman
    whole lotta woman
    whole lotta Rosie
    whole lotta Rosie
    whole lotta Rosie
    a whole lotta woman
