General Store Rock ver 2

Details

Description

🎸🕺 Step back into the jukebox era — shiny chrome, checkered floors, and that one-stop shop where the whole town came to talk, laugh, and spend a dime. “General Store Rock” rolls like a ‘50s sock-hop hit, but with just a touch of today’s shine. You can almost smell the fresh coffee, hear the bell over the door, and see the candy jars glittering in the window. It’s a place frozen in time, but still kickin’ with a little modern edge.

Like and subscribe so the rock never stops.

Lyrics (Male lead — 50’s rock tone, light Elvis/Sam Cooke inflection, backing band harmonies)

[Intro]
Well, c’mon baby, let’s stroll on down,
To the corner store at the edge of town!

[Verse 1]
Bell on the door goes ding-a-ling,
Shelves full of everything
Soda pop fizzin’ in a red glass bottle,
Young folks laughin’, full throttle
Candy sticks, records spinnin’,
Old men talkin’, young love beginnin’
General store got the heart, you see,
It’s the place to be in 1953

[Hook]
At the general store, we’re twistin’ the night away
Old-time groove with a brand new sway
From the checkerboard floor to the record rack
You leave with a smile and you keep comin’ back

[Verse 2]
Sunlight catchin’ on the chrome milkshake stand,
Couples walkin’ by, hand in hand
Penny candy jars with a modern shine,
A Bluetooth speaker playin’ ‘Rock Around the Clock’ time
Mrs. May behind the counter winkin’ slow,
Still keepin’ secrets everybody knows
From the past to the present, it’s the same ol’ song,
The general store keeps rockin’ on!

[Hook]
At the general store, we’re twistin’ the night away
Old-time groove with a brand new sway
From the checkerboard floor to the record rack
You leave with a smile and you keep comin’ back

[Bridge – spoken over music, playful)
“Say, kid — grab me a cola, two candy bars, and that new 45 —
We’re gonna make tonight swing!”

[Outro]
Oh, general store… keep playin’ that rock ’n’ roll,
From yesterday’s heart to today’s soul
General store… we’ll be back for more,
You’re the beat, you’re the groove, you’re the heart we adore!
