Her Life Was Saved by Rock and Roll

Jenny said when she was just about five years old,
You know, “My parents are going to be the death of us all.”

“Two TV sets and two Cadillac cars, well you know,
It ain't going to help me at all (not just a tiny bit).”

Then one fine morning she turns on a New York station,
She doesn't believe what she hears at all.

She started dancing to that fine, fine music,
You know her life was saved by rock and roll.

— Lou Reed
