"Let There Be Rock" is a song by Australian hard rock band AC/DC. It is the third and title track of their album Let There Be Rock, released in March 1977, and was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Bon Scott. It was also released as a single, with a B-side of "Problem Child", in 1977.
The song provides an encapsulated, fictionalised version of the history of rock 'n' roll. Building on a line from the Chuck Berry song "Roll Over Beethoven": "... tell Tchaikovsky the news", "Let There Be Rock" reveals that Tchaikovsky did in fact receive the message and subsequently shared it with the masses, resulting in the rise of rock 'n' roll.
Lyrics
Honey roll over, and lettuce on top
Strap you to the bed, and make you rock
Run it up the flag, send it on home
Push you to the wall, and make you moan
She's mine, take what I want
Get what I need, don't take it all
Don't you hide, gonna blow my mind
C'mon taste it honey cause she feel fine
She turn it on, Upside down
She turn me on, Inside out
She turn it on, all around
She turn me on, She turn it on
Baby bend over, touch your toes
She take over, the bomb explodes
A rockin' rollercoaster, flyin' off the top
Take you high diving, off the long drop
She's mine, take what I want
Get what I need, don't take it all
Don't you hide, Gonna blow my mind
C'mon taste it honey cause she feel fine
She turn it on, Upside down
She turn me on, Inside out
She turn it on, all around
She turn me on, She turn it on
[Yeah
She turn me on
She's mine, take what I want
Get what I need, don't take it all
Don't you hide, gonna blow my mind
C'mon taste it honey, cause she feel fine
Yeah
Oooh yeah
She turn it on, Upside down
She turn me on, Inside out
She turn it on, all around
She turn me on, She turn it on
She turn it on
She turn me on
She turn it on
She turn me on
Yeow
She keep a turnin' me on
She keep a turnin' me on
She keep a turnin' me on
She keep a turnin' me on
Yeah she keep a turnin' me on
She keep a turnin' me on
She keep a turnin' me on
She keep a turnin' me on
She turn me on
On and on
She keep a turnin' me on
She keep a turnin' me on ]
