Up in the mornin'
and out to school
The teacher is teachin'
the Golden Rule
American history
and practical math
You study 'em hard
hopin' to pass
Workin' your fingers
right down to the bone
And the guy behind you
won't leave you alone
Ring ring
goes the bell
The cook in
the lunchroom's
ready to sell
You're lucky if
you can
find a seat
You're fortunate
if you have
time to eat
Back in the classroom
open your books
Gee but the teacher
don't know
how mean she looks
Soon as three o'clock
rolls around
You finally lay
your burden down
Close up your books
get out of your seat
Down the hall
and into the street
Up to the corner
and round the bend
Right to the juke joint
you go in
Drop the coin
right into the slot
You gotta hear
something that's
really hot
With the one you love
you're makin' romance
All day long you been
wantin' to dance
Feelin' the music
from head to toe
Round and round
and round you go
Drop the coin
right into the slot
You gotta hear
something that's
really hot
With the one you love
you're makin' romance
All day long you been
wantin' to dance
Feelin' the music
from head to toe
Round and round
and round you go
Hail, hail
rock 'n' roll
Deliver me from
the days of old
Long live
rock 'n' roll
The beat of the drum
is loud and bold
Rock rock
rock 'n' roll
The feelin' is there
body and soul
