Intro
They're comin' from all over the world
Verse 1
Hey, everybody, see 'em arrivin'
The greatest stars you'll ever see
Some are flyin' and some are drivin'
From Liverpool to Tennessee
Chuck Berry's checkin' in from St. Lou
He's gonna sing "Maybelline" and "Memphis" too
The representative from New York City
Is Lesley Gore, now, she sure looks pretty
Chorus
Here they come (from all over the world)
Here they come (from all over the world)
You know the guitar's groovin' so keep it movin'
And come on, come on, come on
They're comin' from all over the world
Verse 2
Can't you just hear everybody singin'
The biggest sound you've ever heard
A-clappin' and a-stompin' while the guitar's screamin'
You better go spread the word
[N.

Don't forget the Motor City sounds of the day
The "Baby Love"'n Supremes and Marvin Gaye
The King of the Blues, soulful James Brown
