Up in the morning and out to school |
The teacher is teaching the golden rule |
American history and practical maths |
Study 'em hard and hoping to pass |
Working 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 lunch room is 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 |
Hail hail rock 'n' roll |
Soon as 3 o'clock rolls aroun' |
You finally lay your burden down |
Close up your books and 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've been wanting to dance |
Feeling the music from head to toe |
Round and round and round you go |
Long live rock 'n' roll |
