A time and place to sing and dance,
Breaking old barriers because
Dick Clark, one show, just took the chance,
On American Bandstand, to
Let a teen kid of color rate
A record for T.V to view -
A first that could bring a dire fate.
The kid said it had a nice beat
And was easy to dance to, so
That was that, and there came no heat.
All rocked and rolled on with the show.

Music makes lots of joy and fun
For all to sing and dance as one.
