"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 ]
