Up in the morning and out to school
The teacher is teaching
the golden rule
American history and practical math
You study them 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 and 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 halls and into the street
Up to the corner and round the bend
Ride to the juke, you're new going
Drop the coin right into the slot
You gotta hear something
that's really hot
With the one you love,
you're making romance
All day long you've
been wanting to dance
Feeling the music from head to toe
Round and round and round
you go
Drop the coin right into the slot
You gotta hit something that's really hot
With the one you love
you're makin' romance
All day long you've been
wantin' to dance
Feelin' the music from head to toe
Round and round and round you go
Hail, hail, rock and roll
Deliver me from the days of old
Long live rock and roll
The beat of the drums loud and bold
Rock, rock, rock and roll
Feel it in his hair, body and soul
