Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Long [Em]be fore t[G]he t[Em]wist and stroll,
[G]Long [Em]before there was rock and roll,
[G]Lon[Em]g before there was rock and roll,
Long before they were
doing the [C]stroll,
[Am]Tupac [C]was[Am] doing his bit
and [G]a love was a hit,
[Em]Long before there was Bobby Sox,
Long before there was record [G]pops,[C]
[Am]Cleo[C]patra [Am]sailed the Nile
because [G]love was in style
[Am]Way back in the Alley [Em]days,
[D]things were different in many [Em]ways[G]
[Em]But [Am]one thing was the s[G]ame even then,
wo[A]men were women
and [D]men were men
[G]Long [Em]before the twist was here,
long before the shimmy appeared
But no [C]matter [Am]my needs,
I'll fol[C]low the plan,
[G]and I'll love and be [Em]gay.[G][Em][G][Em]
[Am][C][Am][G][Em]
[C][Am][C][Am][C][G]
Ball, ball, ball,
[C]way [Am]back[C] in the alle[G]y days[Em]
[G]Thi[Em]ng s [D]were
different in many [Em]ways
But [C]one [Am]thing [C]was [Am]the [G]same even then
Wo[A]men were women
and [D]men were men
[G]Long before [Em]the [G]twist [Em]was here
Long before the shimmy appeared
[C]Adam [Am]and Eve f[C]ollowed [Am]the plan
[C]And t[Am]he lo[G]vin' began
Yeah, the lovin' began
[Em]Long be[G]fore [Em]the twist and stroll
[G]Long [Em]before there was rock and roll
[G]Long [Em]before the twists strokes
[G]Long [Em]before there was rock and roll
